Who's liable if my bowel pops and I die waiting??

I'm literally starving myself because my bowel won't stay open. That and the steroids that are flipping eating away at my body and mental health are my only treatment right now. I'm sick of writhing in pain screaming for days every time my bowel swells shut and I'm so freaking sick from malnutrition and I don't have the energy (mental or physical) to deal with anymore.



That would have to be the most idiotic decision a pharmacist could as, seeing how you need such medication overall.

Why does it seem like everything about me is engineered to make me have the worst day possible? :wall:

Why can't I just live normally without having to monitor everything, and not worrying about one thing slipping up and my brain crashing and everything
falling apart? :evil:

It makes no difference how desperately the medication is needed.
They don't care.
I've faced the same scenario.
It's criminal.
Not so much for me, but little kids in extreme need are waiting for the same medicine to be approved as well.

Made three attempts at making something for a friend with no success.
Before, I would have finished it in a couple of hours.
But I've been at it all day.
And it's just not working for me.
Nothing is working for me.
My body is alien.
It won't obey.
My brain is damaged.
I truly am a ret*d.

I love you but omg f**k you. I've had a long day, seven days of work in a row, my head hurts and my lower back hurts. I'm frazzled and I'm tired and yes I'm f*****g angry and afraid that Trump won but you don't see me being antagonistic towards you. Pick a fight with someone else, not your girlfriend who made the mistake of asking how your day was.

I truly belive that they in time will come to regret that, and see it as their biggest mistake of their lives, unfurtunately it's too late then..

I'm transgender. I was looking forward to transitioning over the next four years. But now? I'm going to be in constant fear, constant threat that any and all of those things could just become impossible or illegal. The house, senate and congress are all Republican controlled now. There's literally nothing stopping them. Worst part is that as I'm downstairs trying not to break into tears, my father is upstairs celebrating. There was a time where I wanted to be my father. Now I'm considering getting my last name changed eventually too. I don't feel any hatred towards him. Just utter contempt.

Well, that does appear to be an obstacle when you have people still living in the medieval time period, though not in literal terms rather thoughts & attitudes about things. Wherein, I'd not give up hope just be aware that there is going to be more struggles. I applaud you for your courage to be who you sincere wish to be.

Exactly.

It gets worse. Turns out it wasn't liability issues. I don't know the details, but due to the way things are done, the medicaid reimbursement for the medication doesn't go to the pharmacy, but to the company. The hospital *does* get to charge for administration of the drug of course, they were just pissed about not getting a markup. Oh, non-profit hospital btw. :evil: My mom talked to the asshat in the pharmacy (funny story, I'll elaborate if anyone is curious) and he told her to her face he changed his mind. We shall see...

I just checked on Google 'lots of energy at the age of 67'. The website couldn't find any info on it so it sent me links on elderly people not having any energy.

You're weird.
You know the weird people who are quirky and cute and fun to be around?
That's not you.

It doesn't matter I would say.. as long as it's perceived as something positive from both sides :)
