Holy crap. I just had to spend $68.31<\/b><\/i> on ONE prescription for 28 days.<\/p>\n

I’m on the Lupron injection, right? And that puts me in a temporary menopause complete with all the way-fun symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, etc. So the doctor gave me three months worth of a very low dose add back hormone called Femhrt free. I take one pill a day to help put a little bit of estrogen back in my body and help counter the worst of the effects. (I still get some effects but they’re significantly reduced.)<\/p>\n

So, I had a total of four months of Lupron; June 7th was a 30 day injection and July 7th was a 90 day injection. He gave me 3 months worth so I’ll run out of Femhrt before I run out of Lupron in my system. The doctor wrote me a script for another month (actually he apparently put it for two months) but this time, I had to pay for it since my PCIP insurance started August 1st. (At $237\/month premium mind you!)<\/p>\n

Well, I have a $250 deductible on my prescriptions, so I had to pay the whole thing. All $68.31 of it for a 28 day supply. Holy crap! I don’t have that kind of money!!<\/p>\n

Not taking it really isn’t an option. So I had to get it. But that put a serious hurt in my funds right now. I mean serious<\/i> hurt. Not sure what I’m going to do. There’s another whole week before Love gets paid and then, all of it (ALL) will be going to rent. So an unexpected $70 bill is really a problem.<\/p>\n

On top of everything, Love and I both have been sick and miserable with a cold for days now. So that’s festive.<\/p>\n

But holy crap…$70 for one month. Seriously, these bills are going to be the death of me. <\/p>\n
