Went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescrips today. I was told my pain med has doubled in price to fifty six dollars a bottle and my insurance will not cover it. There is no patient assist for it because it's an odd med that hardly anyone gets anymore. Yeah, because it actually works on this disease. tylenol/butalbital combo.
My insurance won't pay for anything that actually helps me. Anything my doc wants to give me, the insurance is like NO. I am so sick of it. So much for medical reform in this country.
So she gave me Donnatal that I used to get years ago and I'll give it a try again. If you mix Donnatal with tylenol and benadryl, it kind of works the same as the butalbital. Donnatal is phenobarb with belladonna. The belladonna soothes the central nervous system and is very good for advanced Lyme and inflamed nerve diseases like HHV6. It's just that, like everything else, it will make you sleepy and can only be used when you plan on being dead for a few days.
My insurance also won't pay for Aciphex, but it may be a blessing in disguise cause I didn't feel good from the samples she gave me. All those ppi's make me worse. I'll have to stick with pepsid ac, which the insurance also won't cover.
I'm just so sick of fighting with the insurance for things I NEED. I was doing well on the butalbital, I NEED the butalbital. They have no right to say no when it's the only pain killer I can take because I can't take narcs and I can't take NSAIDS. I hate my insurance, just hate them.
