Meds

There is a national shortage of Delestrogen and I've been having a tough time trying to fill my prescriptions. I need to have the meds in hand in order to start the cycle with the baseline on Thursday.

The only pharmacy that has any left is in South Miami. Remember Hurricane Matthew? Everyone in Florida is busy trying to survive the storm and they're all closed.

My nurse and I have been researching pharmacies to see who still has an alternative to substitute. There's on in New Jersey who might. I've also been contacting my regular pharmacy, Freedom, and their hold music is literally the worst. The Worst. I don't know why there have been such long wait times but it's a minimum of 10 min on hold each time I called. I called several times throughout the day yesterday and stayed on hold as long as I could before needing to go back to work.

I finally got hold of someone in the evening. They offered an alternative where the dosage and concentration of the medication is different but essentially it's the same drug. They need to confirm with the doctor that it's an acceptable swap before shipping the order.
