I said something to the neurologist about a pharmacy to pick up meds and he almost laughed at me. Come to find out that there is a PROCESS. Of course there is! Why wouldn't there be! Everything has been....whew!
Process to start medications......the Doc has to fax in paperwork to a company called Shared Solutions. They work with our insurance company to get us the best price possible and then send a nurse to our house to teach him how to inject himself everyday. My hubby sure wasn't thrilled with an injection but made the decision because our insurance only covers 1 of the oral options and it sounds like a lot of heart risks. He just wanted to daily shot to become a part of his day and I don't blame him. There is a new oral medication that is a major buzz in the MS support groups and social scene! It is suppose to be the new wonder drug that is keeping the relapses down to a minimum which it exciting. Hopefully some day insurance will decide that needle injections are old school and meds would be better taken if it was a management pill? I could never work for an insurance company......just sayin'
Hubby has to have an MRI again in 6 months to see if be is progressing or if there are more spots.
I am waiting for the day this all gets easier....I know I keep saying it but it will happen right? He will start meds and his symptoms will level out? Dear God please?! These mood swings are worst then a pregnant woman.......
So short and so quick to snap! I love my husband with everything in me but being someone that is not one to take crabbiness or being yelled at very well I am going to have raw spots on my tongue from having to bite it. This is something I am truly crossing my fingers about.
Once the 90 degree days relax and the nurse comes to show him the injection process, then do we catch a break? Well, I would bet that will be about the time the bills start coming in so the answer is NO.
