Dear Medco-
Do you not realize I am dependant on your for my meds? It's insulin, I know it's expensive, but it's not like I want to use it either. It's insulin, something your pancreas probably (I'm not going to make assumptions here) makes the correct amount of daily without you giving it a second thought. It's insulin, and I need it damn it, please ship it already. And my test strips too. So I am not just randomly guessing amounts to take.
Dear Dr. Endo-
In the future, will you please so kindly spell out how much insulin to give me to Medco, so we can avoid this. I know you realize I wear a pump. And I know you realize that means I don't have set doses, or use the same amount everyday, but please, just make something up so they will ship me my insulin!
Dear Ms. P
Why, oh why does your assignment call for 2 4x6 index cards and 2 5x8 index cards? This means I have to go buy 2 packs of cards so I can use 2 cards out of each. Why couldn't I just buy 1 pack of 5x8 and use 4 cards out of it?
Dear OC Members-
Why aren't you commenting? Do you still read? My comments section is getting lonely.

I read. I finally started using bloglines, so I read every time you post something new. I'm just up to my eyeballs in babies right now, so I don't always have time to comment.
I am a reader too. I will be commenting more I promise! Shame on me :(
Yay! Thanks for the comments, it's great to hear from everyone again.
Julia- yeah, I just read your blog today. Sounds like you are busy, and tired. Please get some rest!
Kath- thank you for not being an anal teacher! Good luck dealing with Medco. My status on my strips and insulin finally changed to sent. Whew.
George- thanks for the comment, and congrats again on one week!
PS- Kath, do you have a blog? I can't see your profile, and I don't recognize your name. If you have a blog, let me know and I will add you to my list.
I'm here!
I just waged the same fight with express(ha!)scripts and my endo's office.
I finally received my damn infusion sites, two days before I was going to be flat out of them.
Dear This is My Life,
Buy the 5X8 cards and cut two of them to 4X8 size.
Sincerely,
Faithful Reader
I meant 4X6 cards.
I'm still reading... just not always all that great at commenting!
I'm here too! I'll get George to smack me when I don't comment...
He's good at that... which you can see by his "ninja" pose?
Scary, isn't it?
Good idea Nicole. And yes Scott, George does look...uhm...tough!
RAWR!!!!!
I am actually a total wuss but shhh its a secret!
RAWR!!!
Megan, I Johnboy raise my hand to be counted on the roll. :)
Nicole has an excellent suggestion on the cards. I hope it's not too late. ;)
I like to make a list (usually several pages long...haha, sometimes anyhow) that I take with me to my endo office. I then hold my endo hostage for several hours as I go through the list.....On the list is always prescriptions I need refilled, and the EXACT format they need to be written in for mail order RX company.....I even provide her with a sample....
Sarah-
Yeah, I did that at the last appointment too and found it very effective, but honestly, I did not expect this problem!
Kath-
I have been reading your blog, I just didn't "recognize" you. I read about all your Medco problems too...gerrr. I even linked your rant in my original medco rant.
I'm here, too. :) I've just been a bit lurky lately. I check up on you every time I see a new post, though.
