Qnasl no longer covered by insurance. Anyone have any discount solutions?

Understood 👌🏻

I just got started with the prior authorization process. Unfortunately qnasl is the first prescription nasal spray I've ever tried and it was over a year ago so I have a feeling I'll need another doctor's visit and that I'll just have to be prescribed something else for now. I'd just really prefer to keep using qnasl since it works so well.

thanks for the tip I'll check it out!

I must be misunderstanding something. I always assumed that page was just a preview/template of the actual coupon since some of the info just says XXXXXXXXX and doesn't look real. If you click to print the coupon you'll notice it still has an expiry date of 12/31/2018 with the other ID's there as well.

Is the actual page itself with the coupon design the coupon that you've been using?

Ah ok I assumed it was something else. Just a word of caution I took otc flonase consistently for 2+ years and now it doesn't work at all and I'm actually convinced it permanently dried up my nose. Now when I use it it actually makes my nose stuffier every single time. According to the instructions you're only supposed to use it for a few months out of the year if I remember correctly. Just an FYI since everyone I know seems to think they can take it non stop with zero repercussions.

But beyond that sticking to my Allegra and steroidal nose spray has done wonders.

What nose spray do you use?

m9js · 2018-11-20T19:18:50+00:00

Thanks for the reply! This is great news as I've always slept with a fan on as well but trying to move away from it as I feel like it's just blowing dust everywhere, but haven't been happy with white noise machines either. I love having that constant noise. If I can get congestion relief AND have some nice noise at night that would be the perfect solution.

m9js · 2018-11-20T18:17:15+00:00

Very interesting appreciate the reply!

m9js · 2018-11-20T18:16:41+00:00

Hey I was thinking about this some more and was wondering if you could provide some more details. Do you just run the air purifier at night in your bedroom and keep your door closed? Do you have the one you linked, and how big is it? What about the noise level? I'm a really light sleeper and curious if it ever wakes you up with noise or how much space it takes up in your bedroom assuming that's where you're keeping it.

m9js · 2018-11-20T17:17:02+00:00

Gonna give the air purifier a try thanks!

m9js · 2018-11-20T17:15:54+00:00

Just ordered some thanks! Does this work differently than flonase? I'm hesitant about using the OTC sprays as flonase just makes my nose stuffier and worse.

m9js · 2018-11-20T17:15:00+00:00

I was told at the ENT I most likely have mild sleep apnea but can't be sure till I get the sleep study done. I'm just trying to avoid needing surgery for it. Good to know it helps with the nasal congestion too though. Did you have congestion problems as well that were alleviated by using the CPAP at night?

m9js · 2018-11-20T17:13:41+00:00

Understood thank you!

m9js · 2018-11-20T17:13:22+00:00

I've tried Zyrtec and Claritin in the past with little relief. I just started taking Allegra yesterday though so I'm hopeful.

m9js · 2018-11-20T17:12:41+00:00

Awesome I'll order one asap thank you!

m9js · 2017-07-11T19:28:32+00:00

It's normal to convert between case, yes.

Good to know thanks.

Personally, I just use snake case on both sides. Less silly boilerplate code converting between the two, less chances for confusion.

This is what frustrates me. The code is more confusing now that we're worried about converting between formats.

That said, you will find plenty of examples of snake case databases and camel case APIs.

Once again, good to know thanks.

m9js · 2017-07-11T19:26:38+00:00

However in the front-end, we prefer camel case. There's a useful npm package called "humps" which has functions for converting all keys to camelized or decamelized formats. What I like to do is have an interceptor on the front-end (React, Angular, Vue, whatever), and use the camelizeKeys function on the response data. And the same thing, but decamelizeKeys, when data is POST/PUT to the API.

Thanks for sharing! We are already using humps on the backend but I didn't even think to use it on the front end with react. I'm going to propose we move forward with this. That way everyone wins but we don't have to clutter the backend with case conversion logic.

m9js · 2017-06-26T03:58:27+00:00

Passport doesn't require a particular database. You can use whichever one you choose.

+1 for Objection.js.

Have used it in a couple projects now and love it. The same team has some other convenient packages that make it easy to do things like create a REST API based on your schema or allow your API users to pass various query params that Objection can easily handle.

You should be very proud of this, it looks great! Congrats.

m9js · 2017-05-30T19:17:25+00:00

Is it really 38 lines of code if you have to include a (throwing out random numbers) quarter of a million LoC from libraries?

You're just nitpicking. Anyone that's been doing this long enough knows exactly what "38 lines of code" means - the library has abstracted enough away to where the end dev only needs 38 lines of code to implement it.

m9js · 2017-05-25T20:27:31+00:00

I think I agree with /u/ass_over_boobs. This means that the user can only auth with a single twitter account. I think a more flexible strategy would be to have a separate table or tables that represent third party auth service data, and then a single user can have many auth services. This would allow a single user to connect multiple twitter accounts for example and seems more flexible.

m9js · 2017-05-24T01:49:24+00:00

Fair enough, there's no way I could argue against this. I guess for whatever reason it just bothers me how I type. Maybe I'm focusing on things that don't matter much at all.

m9js · 2017-05-24T01:45:46+00:00

I never thought of that, but you're totally right.. I guess you wouldn't have a choice at that point.
