- Calling about medical insurance
- Getting dumb people who ask impertinent questions about my funk diseases
- Do you really need to know the side effects? Trust me, you don't want to know.
- Do you really need to know how long I've been taking this medication?
- Isn't that in your computer?
- Come on. Push a button. See for yourself.
- What does that have to do with the price of Coffee in Tajikistan?
- Do you want to know how long I've been married?
- My license plate number?
- The last movie I went to?
- I can read you my horoscope for today if you'd like?
- Not knowing if I take the "cycloset" or the "parlodel" version of the drug.
- I'm not the doctor.
- I'm not even A doctor! Unless you count LOVE doctor!
- I didn't write the script.
- I just pour the glass of water and swallow the pills.
- ... though parlodel sounds familiar....
- Having to go to pharmacies in person
- Being told by one pharmacy my prescription is $306.19
- At another pharmacy it's $267.18
- At a third pharmacy it's $262.51
- And the last time I bought it I paid $196.84
All I want is some Bromocriptine. I don't want to spell it anymore. I don't want to give you my enrollee number or program number or RX Bin number. What's the difference between those anyway? I don't want to tell you how often I take it or what it treats. I just want the bottle filled. Today. 60 little pills. Two for every day. Let me get out my 10-key here. (clickclickclickclickclick) Okay. That's a one month supply. I just want it for a reasonable price. And it's your lucky today because I am feeling like anything under $200 would be pretty reasonable. Although I'll have to sell the cow to pay even that.

I hear you. I know it sounds trite to say, but be glad you have insurance. As annoying as these a**holes are, at least some of the cost is offset and you will get relief.
There is a silver lining in most things, I think.
Makes me wonder, once again, why the heck we have health insurance?!
I applaud you for shopping around for the best price. That alone causes a need for meds!
yowza! That's expensive. But nothing compared to your health, sister. :)
I hate these things as well.
Add to it the $20 co-pay and I'm a crazy woman.
Although... look into the mail in companies through your insurance. I save over $900 a year in the kids regular scripts. And it's on automatic re-order.
The LOVE doctor? Hahaha! I love that! I'm glad to see you're taking your meds, but sad that it's so freakin' expensive. And it's true - why do we have to practically sell our first born children to just get the dang prescriptions filled? I have to go through a lot of pill weirdness because of Dylan's ADHD meds, a.k.a. Legalized Speed. And it drives me crazy.
We had a prescription woe a few weeks ago too. Brett went to get a prescription for Conner's broken leg and they wouldn't let him get it because his driver's license was expired...so I had to go get it!
