I'm getting so tired of CH attacks every night! They're killing me. Been to the Dr. four times in the last week. A week a go I got some prednisone and he up'd my verapamil to 480mg; said he would get HMO auth. for O2. Then I went to urgent care for some Imitrex pills (wouldn't give inj). Then back again Friday, got a Imatrex inj. at the office even though I wasn't having an attack. But Dr. wouldn't write a Rx for it. I asked about the O2, he said "oh yeah, I'll request it and ask them to put a rush on it". I asked what that means, he says 5-7 working days. Guess he forgot Monday. Grrrrr! Told him I can't wait 5-7 f* days... what's wrong with today? Then the Dr. decided to give me Maxalt-MLT instead of Imitrex to hold me over... didn't stop my kip 10 last night. I'm thinking major malpractice suit for Dr. Bozo and his HMO.
BTW, if ya'll hear something on the news about some guy going Postal at a HMO in Southern California, you'll know it's me.
