Don't dis the big box stores to me!

Yesterday I realized that my thyroid meds, recently changed to a different company, may be bothering my heart.

A local pharmacy has the right brand. I know that I will have to pay for it out of my pocket so I asked for 30 days.

I went to pick it up, and stood there like a dummy with my 20 in my hand, and was told it was 51.00. Well, I should have said no thanks, but I'm getting ready to go on a trip and I need to get this done. I took it. I called another store and checked the price, it was 28.00. Same Family store~ different city. Well, the first store had given me 90 days because the dr. wrote the rx for that. Wow.

And now the rest of the story. tum tum tum tum tum tee dee tee dee dum---

It's a 10 for 3 months Wal mart Prescription!

Good-by 41.00!

So my suggestion to everyone, is to ask all of the big box drugstores for their paper 4.00 prescription list, many actually give antibiotics at no charge, and to update it often. Maybe a notebook with all of them in it. They are online, you can print them yourself, That 40 didn't take food off my table but my heart goes out to the folks for whom it does.

Our government, in my opinion, made a big mistake in not regulating our drugs, both cost and quality. They are out of control. This was a generic for Synthroid.

 UPDATE, April 10th, 2015, My doctor finally lowered my synthroid perscription and after 2 months of out of control heart beats, inability to walk and breath at the same time, cutting my vacation a week short, on Easter 2015 my heart finally went back to its normal semi frequent pvc life style and I am slowly adding back the meds and vitamins I usually take. I thank God for this one more miracle, am listing it here as a mini blessing but to me its the difference in living and not living. I need to make a couple of changes of a private nature between me 'n God, but that's no problem. Thx, God!

Remember the big bru haha about buying Canada drugs? Quality and all? Now most all of our drugs are made in foreign countries,,,wonder who's watching the back doors over there?
