Daylily,

You could try asking your doc if he would feel comfortable increasing your script for the lidoderm patches.....ie, if he writes for 1 a day now (for the worse side) would he write for 2 to also cover the not quite as bad side ? Or even more to cover the fact that they must ride up and stick to themselves if you are applying under your bra strap. Maybe you can stockpile a bit

Are you applying for SSDI if you can't work ? Then you could eventually get Medicare. Sorry if you've already answered that one elsewhere.....the joys of brainfog, my memory is not what it should be

Hugs
