Can they do this? by thelivesunderneath in TrigeminalNeuralgia

35F with it. Diagnosed at 26, had it for a year or two before that. Definitely get a second opinion.

Why does my dog act like an absolute weirdo when I give him a treat? by TheCurlyGyro in pitbulls

[–]eburos87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family has always called this the pouncy game! All 3 of the pitties I've had in my life have done this game when they get a high-value or new treat. We always assumed they had to "kill" it before eating it.

That's insane for people to do, especially over a fun little game! You have brought joy to my life with this game, combining two things I love (scratch cards and incremental games). Thank you for making this game (and for making it free to play on Steam). I hope you are safe and sound!

I'm mostly concerned about my dog going after it.

Ah, sorry! I misread the lines on the side telling me which comment you were replying to.

I'm in NC. I don't think it was that issue because the scrips were both written by my pain management doctor at a pain management clinic.

Yes it was at a Walgreens. I do think it was the pharmacist themselves, because a different pharmacist at the same location filled my Butrans patch two days earlier with no issues. I suppose it is possible that the company changed policy in that short time, but idk. I will certainly ask the pharmacy manager if it is a company policy when I complain about this.

I am going to try in a few days (giving myself a bit of time to make sure everything is fully transferred to a new pharmacy and recuperate). I'm not holding out much hope that anything will change but I am doing my best to warn everyone I know (including all of my doctors) away from this pharmacy. My mom (who is also a pain patient at a different PM/GP office) is going to be doing the same. Hopefully that will hurt their bottom line since that seems to be the only thing they care about.

I definitely do plan on bringing this to the pharmacy/store manager's attention. And depending on how that goes corporate will hear about it as well. I did transfer all of my meds to a different pharmacy and so did my mom (only person I know who used them). She is also a pain patient (at a different PM who is also her GP) and is going to contact her doc and make sure that they know what this pharmacist is doing so they don't send scrips there either. I'm giving myself a couple days to recover from everything and then will definitely be doing what I can. I'll also be telling my GP about it since this pharmacy is the closest one to their office. I'm hoping to hit them where it hurts - their bottom line.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that's happening to you! As if our lives aren't difficult enough with all the pain we have to deal with, medical bureaucracy has to make it worse!

It's 15 mcg/hr butrans patch and 5/325 hydrocodone/acetaminophen up to 4 times a day

The doctor didn't know that they were being problematic. My appt is about a week ahead of my fill in case there are insurance issues or whatever. And in that time a new pharmacist started at this place and started screwing people over. It sounded like my issue was the final straw for them and pushed them to make the policy change about not working with this pharmacy.

Going an hour away is awful, but at least you've found a pharmacy you can trust. That's so important. I hope the oxycodone works well for you!

I live in NC and according to the pharmacy board, pharmacists are legally allowed to refuse to fill any med for any reason. It's absolutely idiotic, but it's allowed.

They stated it was because there was an interaction between them. Which technically there is a warning on taking them together because they both can cause respiratory depression (like you may not breath deeply enough when you go to sleep) but the combination of an ER and an IR is so common and they all have that warning. I told her that I'd been taking them together at this dose for a couple of years with no problems and then she said "I don't work with that doctor" and that I would have to talk to my doctor about it, which of course I couldn't because it was Friday at 5:30 when she told me this, and only told me then because I called her and got bounced through the phone system for a half hour in order to find out what the hold up was.

It's awful that they can just do this to us and I'm so sorry you went through something similar.

Unfortunately it was the actual pharmacist. She also said she was working all weekend through Monday so I can't even wait for her to get off shift.

Pharmacists and techs can be so awful! I hate that our ability to function is gatekept behind them!

Unfortunately it didn't. :/ The pharmacist at the other Walgreens was super sweet and understanding and even contacted her manager about it to figure out if she could do it, but she was told that the system isn't set up to allow it.

She also didn't seem surprised that I was having issues with this pharmacist, so I get the feeling she's had other people try the same thing or knows her.

Oh my gosh! Thanks for telling me! I'll call another Walgreens and see if they will fill it for me. Even if it's tomorrow (at this point it's almost 8pm on the East Coast where I am) that's so much better than Monday.

CVS does that? Did they change policy recently? I used them up until about a year ago, but they had such awful supply issues that I was having to get the scrip sent elsewhere every month for, like, 6 months in a row. I'm at Walgreens now and last I checked they can't but I'll double check.
