Back in the Saddle
Thanks guys for your comments yesterday- I am feeling so much better today- tired, but better. Going to the doctor she said she was afraid insurance would not cover the Nuvigil, she wrote me a prescription but she said that she has tried giving her patients this in the past and insurance usually says no. I’m like REALLY the medication is for people with sleep apnea! I HAVE sleep apnea- I’m always exhausted… I went looking around and most people said their copay was anywhere between $50-$300! I can’t afford a $300 copay- and my husband is obviously also taking this so who knows what it’s going to cost us… I hear there are similar meds you can take to keep you up. I looked more into this medication and found out it’s basically a legal amphetamine. HUH?! Wow that’s crazy stuff. We’ll see what my insurance says- if they give me something even if it’s generic as long as it works I’ll take it. I’d rather have generic with a $4-$10 copay as long as it works.
Glad you guys like my crochet- it’s not as nice as some people’s but I’m having fun doing it 
If you didn’t see it check out the post below
I’m practicing the stitches on some leftover yarn for my sister’s blanket. I’m actually loving this pattern, it’s more complicated than anything I’ve done so far- but it’s coming out so well- I’ll take a picture of it when I’m done- though it’s going to take a long time since it’s a full blanket. But here’s what the pattern will look like when it’s done:
Lana’s will be pink and white If anyone crochet’s and you want the pattern just let me know The pattern is originally for a baby blanket but I’m just doubling it.
Eating should be good today- I can’t have dairy while on this set antibiotics (2 hours before and 2 hours after taking the pill) so breakfast today is an apple with pb. Lunch is that broccoli cheddar soup I made (which tastes soooo good) and a bit of leftover steak from last night’s dinner. Tonight’s dinner is probably pork chops and grilled zucchini with a salad. I have to call my sister and ask her to pull out the pork chops lol OOPSY 
But the diet is back on woo- it was actually back on yesterday- I had steak with a HUGE salad for dinner. Lunch was the yummiest sandwhich- grilled shrimp with whole wheat bread that is toasted, added tomato and green leaf lettuce with mustard and a tiny bit of light mayo- OMG YUMMIEST lunch ever! And breakfast was a whole wheat bagel with laughing cow cheese- higher on carbs but all good carbs.
Anyways, got to catch up on some work then I’ll be back later to read your blogs! Have a nice day ladies!
Just catching up - sorry about the UTI! Glad you got some meds though..hopefully they work quickly! How strange about the prescription and the insurance… it’s not like everybody has the same insurance so I’m not sure why it’s not covered by most. Either way, hope it works out!
The mom in me asks how you can have Laughing Cow cheese and broccoli-cheddar (CHEESE) soup if you aren’t supposed to be having dairy….
Glad you are feeling better. Sorry about the insurance issue on the meds. :: hugs ::
Yay for feeling better
UTI’s blow the big one. Evil things. You def need to post pics of your sister’s blanket when you’re done. I’m currently working on a grann square afghan for my friends newborn daughter. I shall take a pic or two and post it up.
Because I take my antibiotic in the morning and evening. I can’t have dairy 2 hours before or after taking the pill. So 8 am taking the pill then lunch at noon I should be fine
Oh and I didn’t start the antibiotic till last night cuz I didn’t get to the freaking doctor till 3! GRR!!!Sorry I wasn’t clear on that.
Glad you’re feeling better. Hope the med is covered by insurance!
I’m getting sort of interested in knitting or crocheting - it would be nice to create something without sitting at my sewing machine! Need to research. I don’t see myself making afghans or sweaters, but maybe scarves or some warm socks. I think socks are difficult though…
Is it not possible that you are covered. You are already getting the drug for your husband, so wouldn’t you know if you weren’t covered. Maybe I missed something. Anyway, I don’t know if you really want to be mixing up some more drugs into your current cocktail, with the metformin and drugs for the UTI.
Since my husband has MS they say for him it’s more important than me- I say PFT to that! Also he is still on the 7 day trial, but today we are calling the neurologist to ask for a prescription.
I have researched around online and there is provigil and it might be getting a generic brand soon- so that should help.
I haven’t started yet but I will definitely ask my pharmacist if there is any complications that can occur from taking all these drugs at once.
Hope the new med helps. Sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well.
I cannot crochet my way out of a bag.
I suck at it. I bow down to anyone who does crafty things with a needle.
Hope the med helps! Glad to see you gettin back in the saddle. Here’s an award to get you motivated!
