TO Heidi and her RX problem.

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi,

I have never heard of sure a ridicules policy. You are a better able to handle

a stressful situation than I am. I would have probably written your letter and

cussed out someone for such a policy. I do know doctors around here that do

require you to call ahead 24 - 48 hours for refills. They don't want you to

wait until you are totally out, in case the doctor isn't in that day. After you

do call for a refill, you can go and pick it up, if it has to be written. I

know that the Pharmacy I deal with, has me have my doctor call in the refill.

There are too busy to call for just a regular refill. Now if there is a

problem with the RX, such as it now available in a certain strength that your

doctor has written, then the pharmacy will call the doctors office. Otherwise

it's up to doctor office to call it in.

It sound like someone in the doctors office doesn't want to be bother doing

there job. You mention that you were lucky to have your emergency stash that

Poncho mention. I must have been off line when this was discussed and was

wondering if you could tell me what this is about. It sounds like it could be

very useful, for an unexpected flare up. How does it work? Thanks and I hope

you fell better soon. This stress that you have to go through with your doctors

office, I'm sure isn't helping the pain.

Take Care,
