I needed to refill my medications. We use a company on line. I get an email when I'm going to run out of my pills in 2 weeks. So I said yes to their communique last week. That triggered a notice to my doctor as it had been one year since the script was written.
I heard from the medicine place via phone message which will be followed up with a letter explaining why my request could not be filled. I then got a phone call from the doctor's office. The doctor will not approve more refills without a "medicine" visit.
I have a physical scheduled in January. It's in January only because it was the first opening available when I called over two weeks ago. The doctor's employee informed me that that appointment would not be sufficient or soon enough.
At 11 this morning I will see my doctor to "discuss my medications". Seriously? I have been taking the exact same medicine for over 27 years! That's a very long time with no change. I'm curious why and how much this visit will cost me.
It's enough to raise my blood pressure....which is what this med is for. Ironic, isn't it?

- Greetings! I have years, no decades, of financial experiences to share. I have a passion for education. I am a control freak in that I need to know where my $ goes. I continually ask myself do we need that, what risks are we taking with that investment, how/when can we get at our $, and just how much does Uncle Sam demand of our every earned $. Stay tuned to my life choices now and my references to life choices/experiences from my past.

I have high blood pressure. It registered quite high yesterday but settled down after I was at the doctor's a while. The doctor renewed my script and wants me to buy a blood pressure machine for personal use. We will revisit my condition in January at my physical.
