Where I Fall Off My Seat In Shock

So I went to fill the prescription for my medication, having been using samples from my Dr. It turns out that it's horrifically expensive. As in $250 a month! I know it's nothing compared to what some people pay for IF meds but I've never paid so much for a prescription in my life! I am so lucky that my benefits cover 100% of my prescriptions. Otherwise, I'd be hooped.

Bean's earache it seems has gotten worse after seeming to be better. So I also had to start her on the antibiotics. She's been eating and sleeping wierd but is still a pretty happy baby.

Sorry I've been a little quiet lately. I've just been finding my stride again after being sick. I'm almost there. Now if Bean would go back to sleeping through the night, everyone in our household would be much happier.

I hate getting pharmacy sticker shock. It makes you thankful for insurance, but I always wonder about those who don't have coverage.

Hope the baby is feeling better soon!

Isn't it stunning to see prices like that on medicine? Glad you are getting yours covered.

I got a taste of this last spring when I didn't have insurance for a couple of months (COBRA mixup). My migraine medicine was over $100 for nine pills. And that was the generic. I am thankful for my health insurance every day.

The price of a brand name prescription is horrific.

It ~does~ take time to get your stride back after being sick. And that sure takes some getting used to. Take your time! I hope you and Bean are back to your old selves soon.

My Lyrica dose was about $250/month. I loved only having to pay $25 for it. Thankfully, Mr S has great insurance. I knew there was a reason I married him...
