This is wonderful information, but it’s all so *exhausting*. People shouldn’t have to jump through these hoops to get the meds they need. it’s a fucked system and people are dying.

One thing I would also add is if you are having issues with a medication, you may want to check the delivery system of that medication. I couldn’t ever take a specific migraine medication which is very effective because it tore my stomach up, and since I already have nausea with my migraines, it was basically useless…

… as a pill.

Now, my current healthcare won’t pay for the more expensive migraine meds which are gentler on my stomach than the one which tore up my guts and made me throw it up, but they WILL pay for me to get basically an EpiPen of that medication.

It’s like magic. I get a certain number of injectables every 21 days. I haven’t been to the ER for my migraines since they changed the delivery system of my medication from pills to subcutaneous injections. 

I don’t like needles at all, but it’s an EpiPen kind of injection so I just go ‘ah yes, my anti-migraine hypospray’ and my Star Trek heart is gladdened and there you go.
