You have no idea how much stress I am under. Just found out that Medicare won\'t approve covering my pain med without a pre authorization letter from my doctor. Called my doc and they \"just don\'t do that\". Then I called Walgreens and they told me the DEA has pretty much shut them off. I just can\'t believe this is happening.

hi Jasmine.... will the doctor give you an alternative, maybe refer you to another who can do the pre-authorization if he or she can\'t?

No apparently they just don\'t do preauths period.
Not necessarily the answer I would like but it\'s the only answer I am being given. Period.

Yippee! Woo hoo! Celebrate, dance to the music!

Oh, sorry I got carried away...lmao I\'m so happy for you and I know how hard it is. I quit a little over 2 yrs ago after smoking for 40 yrs. I don\'t wheeze anymore or cough, not even a little. So hope the same thing happens for you.

Xoxo
