CVS puts three MS drugs on its no longer covered list.
Avonex, Extavia, and Plegridy all three are MS drugs on CVS’s no longer covered’ list.
It’s bad enough there are so few drugs for patients with MS but to not cover three from that short list is despicable.
It’s all about profit. I say a huge profit needs to be set aside where the health and welfare of a person (or animal) is concerned. Do not price drugs out of reach or drop them from drug plans when they have been proven to be helpful.
Thank goodness some drug companies do offer help to those of us who desperately need it.
Shame on the ones that don’t.
Hey drug companies and pharmacies, go get your huge profits from vanity drugs like Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis and lower the prices on drugs for heart disease, high blood pressure, and diseases like MS and COPD. Lower the prices on antibiotics, vaccines, and other life saving drugs. 
Greedy drug companies
Finally there was a medication that helped Gavin with his allergies. It was expensive but it helped so we paid for it. Lucy is also on it and it has helped her some.
Went for a refill yesterday and the price has almost tripled. I might not be able to afford refills after this. I will have to rob Peter to pay Paul this month after paying for the medication.
Not my vet’s fault, it is the manufacturer.
Greedy freaking drug companies not only rip us off on our own medications but they keep many pets from having a happy, healthy life by jacking their pricing through the roof and making them hard to get.
Shame on them.
These two deserve to be comfortable.
Too short to use a chain saw safely?
Almost.
I did manage to trim one honking big branch off the magnolia tree. Came close to injuring myself but close isn’t doing it. I am injury free.
I have three branches to go, but I think the largest one will need a professional with a much bigger chain saw.
Jumped out of my skin when The Curmudgeon fell upstairs a little while ago. He shook the entire house. He’s fine, but my heart is still racing.
He even woke Lucy from a sound sleep. Gavin, however, did not hear a thing. He’s still snoring.
Didn’t take her long to fall back to sleep.
Love my Kindle and MP3 player
Spent most of my afternoon seated in the car dealership waiting for my van’s inspection to be done.
So glad I had my Kindle and MP3 player with me. It helped to pass the time in a hurry. Almost wish they’d taken a bit longer.
Lucy and Gavin acted like I’d been gone a week when I got home. Got to love the pups!
The house smelled terrific since I’d started a beef roast in it before I left.
The Curmudgeon spent the time I was gone napping so he didn’t miss me a bit.
At least my van is inspected and I don’t have to worry about that for another year.
Tip toeing through my days…
I feel as though I need to walk on eggs around here. Don’t breathe too hard or get my hopes up.
Two days of him not on the floor seems too good to be true.
I have to get my car inspected today so he’d better be okay on his own for an hour or two. Taking my MP3 player and Kindle along and sitting in the waiting room while they do it. A bit of a break for me.
I might even grab a late lunch somewhere. Alone.
Not even the AC will help if he goes outside
The upcoming week is looking like the heat and humidity will crank up again. This usually means he’ll be having more bad days.
It only takes him making one poor decision to go beyond the
AC.
I don’t even get to enjoy the outdoors lately.
Who can go outside and work in the yard when he falls at the drop of a hat?
I hate walking in and finding him crashed on the floor.
I can’t exactly tie him to his chair now can I?
Lucy tries though.
