Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Hi girls- Just responding to these two posts. It is terrible all the trouble with getting meds. I know they suggest when no insurance those are incouraged to ask the Dr. for samples, and they are suppose to be glad to supply you with them, but some Dr.'s are even so cruel to be stingy with this, and I don't know why. My Dr. gave me a whole box full of cymbalta when we were hoping this would do the trick to let up on some of this pain. NOT. So, I to have been given a supply of different med's, that could not take, did not work, stomach trouble etc etc.,and some I had insurance cover, some did not, and one of them I believe it is the ambien is well over 100.00 if I have to pay for them, I have insurance but am in jeaprody of losing soon, can no longer afford. I also wanted to pass on that I just read today which never new, and Sheri is right on, I also belong to BELIEFNET NEWSLETTER, which is very informative on alot of things, some of it is spiritual stuff, alot of medical, lately it has been hitting on Fibro, Chronic Pain, High Cholestrol, and things right up my alley, but it said on there that Fibro CAN cause sensitivity to medication, and foods!,on top of the IBS. I thought my insensitivity to meds was just me, but now I wonder. I do take the RX pain med whether it bothers me or not, I have to, or I would curl up in a ball and surley not want to live!, the pain has been with me soooo long, and soooo hard, I handled it on my own not wanting to take drugs for so long, I now have become a wimp! Like now I got tongue burning syndrome again! Someone had inquired about this a week ago or so and I responded that I had had it to a long time ago, well should of never talked about it cause here it is, sm.little red, burning can't stand my tongue bumps! Anyway I have taken enough space up. Wishing you both lighter days, and mins without pain Take Care Sharon Lori Hammer wrote: Take care Sherry! They have to doo something about our health care system. Too many cannot afford to get their meds. I have insurance but thre are some that still cost more that I have,. I always try and make sure they give me a generic if their is one. Sometimes that doesn't work my lyrica and lunesta are my most expensive. Is there any type of program you can get on to help you get the meds or treatment you need? Vent all you want! Lori J Sherry wrote: Did some of you read what I said after the question? I was just curious if anyone did not take RX, because I have not had a well tolerance of RX with all that I have tried. My Dr. said some fibro sufferers have this no tolerance effect. AND I was extremely tired of trying new RX with it's high price tag and horrible side affects for me....that is what happened to me. Not to WORRRY! I can't afford to try any more, I'm broke with No Medical. JUST wanted to know if any one else was sufferering the pain and fatigue like me without RX! SORRY....just having a pitty party vent! And it's later than I think....suppose to turn clocks some direction? Wish I could turn the clock in the direction where I have money to survive! That's more realistic than turning the clock to where I don't hurt....that direction does not seem to exist! SORRY TO VENT HERE! Maybe tommorow I'll wake up on the other side of the bed...............forgot what side I woke up on today! ha ha ha --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Sharon, I am so sorry! They do have a generic of Ambien now you might want to check that out. I have bad allergies when it comes to anything OTC I cannot take NSAIDS so I have to have the narcotics and some of them can make sick also. So what do you do. Its just unreal!
