I may have been a bit hasty in my thinking the Celebrex and the Savella aren't working. I haven't taken either of them for 2 days and tonight when I got out of my chair, oh my, the pain. I also can't sleep because of the pain. Yes, I came down and took a Savella. I also priced the Savella. I don't know how I will afford them, but they did seem to work enough where I could get out of the chair without to much pain at night and get some sleep. Right now it is 2:08 am and I am tired but I ache so I can't really sleep. Thank goodness tomorrow is a no student day, just my friend Vicki stopping by to pick up some violins for a fundraiser they are planning for her friend's husband. He needs a heart transplant and they don't have the money for it. I am not sure how I can buckle down more to stretch the money to get the new prescriptions, but I will try. I may be able to get some more samples from the doctor but I know he was out of the Celebrex, that was why he wrote me a prescription for it and only gave me 6 days worth of the sample. I don't know, but I will try somehow. How do people do it with more prescriptions? I know, they don't fill them. that is what I have done in the past, stopped taking a lot of the medicine. What can I say? I am in the same boat as so many that I know. I am thankful that I have the Medicare part D but I do wish I had some secondary insurance but I am not at the point that I can afford something like that right now. Please pray that I get more students. That would help. 2 new weekly students on my own or 4 new weekly students from the new company and I will be able to pay for the new prescriptions. I also need a few more to pay for the property taxes too. I am still just a bit short to make everything, I have the basics now, just need the property tax and the new prescriptions to be covered and then I will be fine.
I am going to try to get some sleep now. I do hope I do. I don't like being awake at this time of night. I should be asleep like the rest of the world. Nighty night!
Savella IS expensive! Even with insurance it was $50.00 when I was using it. Hope it works out for you and that you got some sleep:)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather,
ReplyDeleteI'll pray that more students come your way. Medication is just so awfully expensive. I was prescribed Savella and Celebrex as well. But the Celebrex did me in awful. I was actually too nervous to take the Savella. I have terrible reactions to almost all medications so I go without meds. I do hope you get more sleep. It's just miserable then being up all night because of pain and not being able to sleep.
Gentle hugs and prayers,
Susan
