I apologize. I thought discussing financial planning regarding the sometimes high cost of our meds sounded much more diplomatic than saying that you just can't afford the meds, which is how you phrased it:

"Yup I forgot I use those too lol! But I'm out and cant afford more right now "

Paying for meds is an issue for many of us. Financial planning may include reworking the family budget, running up credit cards, working extra (for those who can), asking the doctor's office for samples, talking to the drug company about free or reduced cost meds, borrowing money, trying to get state services to help pay for meds or food/housing, making an alternative plan with the doctor for meds tha are more affordable. Knowing that a med helps, but not picking it up is either a lack of financial planning or not caring enough to pick up a script. I doubt that you just didn't care enough to pick it up. If something works, but we can't afford it, it is a crisis for our families, but is not a medical emergency.
