Default Sprixx is Toradol

I used to be able to get pre-measured 1 cc vials of Toradol (ketorolac is the generic name) to use to give myself injections when I needed them during bad flares, they helped me to fall asleep. The nurse at my my doctor's office taught me how to give myself the injections. Toradol is an awesome anti-inflammatory. It is often the med that is used in ERs in IV's for treatment of severe pain. Until Sprixx came along, the only way that Toradol could be administered was by injection or IV. I find that Sprixx really burns too much for me to use. I still have 2 left.

WC has refused to refill my vials of Toradol, and my United Healthcare doesn't include it in their formulary, so I have been unable to obtain it for several months. It totally sucks. Just one more thing for my attorney to take to court, WHEN I can get my doctor to write something for me....
