For the last 6 days I have been having quite a time trying to get one of my prescriptions filled. I changed health insurance and my pharmacy. For some reason it was all ok with my other medications but my sildenaphil was definitely a problem. I take it for PAH and I absolutely have to have it. The pressure in my lungs is extremely high and this helps lower it some. I have been calling back and forth between pharmacy, my doctor, and my insurance and slowly having more and more problems with oxygen. Anyway, this afternoon it was finally taken care of and I now have my medication. I never dreamed it would cause such a problem. Now am thrilled that I have the medication in my hot little hand. So how is your life going. Hope your having a terrific day.

Now that I have the medication I am becoming complacent. At this point I don't have to deal with it for a bit of time. Hopefully it is all straightened out.

Glad you received your medicine and that you can breathe easily now. Hope it works out well with your new insurance. So far so good, except I'm trying to get rid of this nasty spring cold.

Hope you chase that cold away quickly. I hope I don't have to go through all this with that medication the next time I try to refill.

Life isn't much fun when you have a problem getting a lungful of oxygen. You tend to focus on that instead of what's going on around you.

So glad you got that taken care of. It is too bad the hoops we have to go through to get what we need. Have a good weekend.

The red tape is getting more and more problematic for us. I was actually surprised to have so many problems getting it. I have been taking it for more than two years.

Glad you got your meds. I'm having a typical day ...... it's relaxing and I do whatever the moment provides, the only things that I need do is feeding the kritters and letting Ally out to do her business, it's windy out so she doesn't want to be outside.

I have not had this problem before. I wonder why it was so much of a problem this time.

Thanks you. It took a few days for my body to readjust to it but now I am feeling like I can really breath.

It would be awful to be running out of a such an essential medication.

It was. I was making several phone calls a day about it. I ended up in the hospital for an overnight visit. Finally everything is all straightened out, I think.

I battled a year to get Anoro for Tony, the doctor finally figured it out, he was getting another breathing medication an insurance would not cover anoro if he was on it, I did not order anymore of that on and he was right, he got the anoro, it was funny that it took him a year to figure out why.

For some reason it does take them a little longer to figure out what you need for a breathing problem. I have two chronic lung diseases and it sometimes confuses them.

Thanks, having difficulty getting a good deep breath is a pain. It can really tire you out.
