I had posted a week or two ago about my patient assistance Emsam being lost by the hospital's mail system. After a lot of stress and worrying I was running out of patches faster than I was comfortable with (and feeling that the hospital owes me the patches they lost but having trouble expressing that for some reason) my therapist emailed and called my pdoc today and expressed his own concerns that I'll run out of meds and that this med essentially keeps me out of the hospital and someone needs to be responsible for it etc. my pdoc got back to me. She called the drug company and they are replacing the lost meds. I can't believe this (aren't drug companies supposed to be evil?) but they didn't act like it was even a big deal. So she sent in what they needed and the meds should be shipped again in the next few days. Unfortunately they still have to be shipped to the same hospital system but I'm used to them being slow (and I have enough patches for them to be slow within reason), just not them losing the patches altogether. If things work out exactly right I'll be able to get them when I'm there for my breast biopsy in 2 weeks. Or I'll drive up and back. That's a pain but I'll happily do it if I need to in order to get the meds.

I'm so relieved although I'll be more relieved when I know the meds are there. I still feel somewhat wary at this point after this last time. Those meds arrived at the hospital 9/23 and still haven't been seen.

Yay!
