Can you order from an International Pharmacy and get it shipped to you ? It only takes a week from the States. The Neuro told me it was in short supply but did not know it was this bad. It must be a horrible for everyone. This happened about 2 years ago with the Addisons Disease type of cortisone. There is only one brand of it in Aust., and they had no idea that it is what people with AD need to stay alive. They thought we could substitute it with Pred for eg. And we can't. I was told by the chemist one day when I went to get my script and I nearly fell over... he had no idea either that we need this type of cortisone exclusively. Eventually the Assoc was able to get special imports from UK and enough for desperate cases that needed it. Since then I always keep 6 months meds on hand at all times !!!!
