To Suzie Re:

[Guest guest]

I know Suzie, part of the problem though is that my hubby can't take

time off of work to get me there and at this point neither can my

daughter so I would have to drive myself (40 mins)so, that's not

happening (too bad my family is all out of state). As far as the

PCP and the Zofran go..I don't quite know why PCP won't prescribe

because I had the pharmacist check and my ins. WILL pay for it..so

that is not the issue here. Don't really understand because when I

last saw my PCP (after the awful last appt I had w/him) I

specifically asked him if he felt that this was getting beyond him

(prescribing it etc.) and that I needed a ringleader of sorrs. He

said no that it wasn't geting out of his league...but the Zofran

is? That's something else I'm just not getting...is Zofran a

controlled substance of something?
