I am so not in a good mood. I hurt and I am tired of hurting. Sometime last week I apparently was bit by something, probably a brown recluse spider. Today I get into the doctor. That went well. Filling the prescription did not. I took it to the pharmacy and they said about 1 hour. I go to pick it up and find out that it was going to cost mega bucks. I say why. They say well you doctor has to get this drug preapproved for insurance to pay! I am like ok, did you call Doctor? Oh yes we faxed it to him about 10 minutes ago but we have not heard anything yet. I am like what? You have had this an hour and you wait until now to do that? AND THE OFFICE IS CLOSED NOW! I am vert tempted to head to er right now. I am hurting. I have lumps in my leg, a big black place where I was bit. My ingunial  lymph nodes are swollen to pecan size. My head hurts bad and has for 4-5 days now. The doctor thinks it is the posion not the fall I had. I am not so sure.

  1. Celeste, for heaven's sake get some help ASAP! Those are nasty bites and need quick care. Maybe your hurting head is from the fall. but rest sure sounds like the spider. Get the right medicine and then think about suing the pharmacy!!!

  8. I hope you got that medication approved by your doctor - it seems stupid. He wrote for it, obviously he approved it!

  10. Medicine is ridiculously high these days. Paul asked me why I didn't upgrade my medicade to cover my prescriptions...simple they then deciede to take more out of my disability. So how am I getting ahead by doing that? I hope you either got your medicine or went to the ER. That bite sounds pretty serious. (hugs)Indigo

  11. I wonder if they could have given you two or three of them that you would pay full price for while you waited a day to get the fax from the doctor.  I hope you have the meds now and the pain is gone.  Those brown recluse spider bites can be very nasty.
