The quarterly appointment admin is its own unpaid job. Could you put the copay and the date somewhere visible now, so future-you doesn't have to hold it in their head?

Nothing like the constant reminder that the entire system hates people getting treatment. Sorry you're having to go through that

Jesus, that is ridiculous And totally on brand for our fucked up medical system 🫠

And considering it runs in families, there's a solid chance the parent(s) also have ADHD, so yay, extra things to deal with for people who probably have issues with executive function

Mr Cal has to get Gup’s meds every month because the state of Tennessee absolutely will NOT accept that I am filling vyvanse for myself AND my child

It has gotten easier from when he was first diagnosed. We used to have to go pick up his prescription form IN PERSON and hand deliver it to the pharmacy every month. Now it's electronic transfer but we have to call. Last time, it took three weeks because of technology snafus.

I've had to hassle mine, but generally they're good. (SSRI. It works, well enough, but not as well as it could.) Saw them last week. Mostly got PAs-in-training, but Not A Problem.

And the worst is when your doc puts in the script a tiny bit too early and then you have to call cvs to try and get them to take the hold off when it can be refilled, but the phone bot won't put you through to someone who can actually do that.

My son's usually runs out on a weekend so I get the script sent from the doctor on Thursday and then nag the pharmacy to fill it Sunday. He would never be able to do this.

My sis was taking a pain drug (for neuropathy), and it was a 30-day supply, mailed, so she'd get it late...

the world needs to nerf me so I don't become too chaotically powerful

God that sucks. I'm sorry. Ours is 6 months, and post lockdowns they're letting us do more of this stuff via telehealth, which has been hugely useful because I lose a full day if I'm going in in person. Can only imagine how disruptive it is for you.

Fun times with ALs new medical marijuana rules, I can't get my 3rd dose bag because one of the previous ones weighed like a gram too much so I don't have an allotment amount to cover the full final bag just 99%of it.

My appointment is tomorrow. I have been getting some push back from one of the nurses about sending the refill reminders too early so I am a bit nervous
