Dramatic pdoc visit today. I've been on patient assistance for Emsam (my AD) for years. For months now we've been contacting them about renewal and have done paperwork twice but no meds have come; nor have any letters telling me I was dismissed from the program. So I assumed when I got there today that they'd have my meds.

Instead they had nothing. I commented to my pdoc that this was getting scary because I only have so many more months stockpiled (somehow I built up a supply over time, thank God) and it's almost 3 years since I was IP and I'd hate to have to go in for a med change which would be needed to get me off Emsam safely.

So they called and my pdoc talked to several people at the company and kept being told that I was being disqualified for having Part D insurance even though they've provided them med while I've had Part D for years because it is so expensive that I couldn't afford it even with the minimal coverage I'd get with it. Finally she talked to someone who vaguely remembered "that application" and they'd been confused that a new application was sent in (despite being told to do that by someone there) and that I did actually qualify. So they are shipping tomorrow and I can relax after a very stressful 15 minutes.

At least it took up enough time and stress that my pdoc never got upset with me for my multiple med errors lately.

The 2.5 hour drive was in bad trafffic and snowy/rainy stuff so it took 3 hours and I'm tired now. I have to eat some soup and get to bed.
