Default Is anyone else being harassed by shared solutions?

Holy Crow! I know they are there when you call, but that does not stop them from calling me every two weeks like clockwork.

And they emailed me about the co-pay reimbursement. And two days later when I had not responded they called me to ask me why I haven't responded.

I don't like pushy people. It's great they want to check on me but enough already. They are worse than bill collectors. They are drug dealers in suits and ties. "hey, how's that copaxone working for ya? Are you almost out? I got some more. You want me to send you some more?"

How crappy is this drug that you have to give it away and harass me to make sure I am still using it? I thought about emailing them the MRI pictures and telling them their crap doesn't work and I want my money back!

And they always ask me about my support system.... I'm still here obviously it's working. I tell you whats not working is that stupid shot I give myself every day.

Forgive me it is late and I am sarcastic.

They're like that in the beginning. Ask them to stop calling you. After 9 years, they never call me now lol I remember though, I really got tired of hearing from them too.

They still call me, and I've been taking the C since sometime in September of 2007.

I always get the same guy, and he's always a <bad word> to me. I got a call back once, by someone else the day after the Jerk called me, and she was reading back what he typed in his notes about the conversation I had with him. He must have been taking a creative writing class or something. Because none of what he wrote about the conversation was true.

Claimed that I said that I wasnt taking the C because I didnt want to deal with it, or some crap like that. No. I told him that I skipped a couple of shots because I had so many sore itchy spots my skin needed a couple of days to heal.

I asked the pharmacy once to hold off on sending me the C for a couple of weeks because I was going on a trip and wouldnt be home to get it, and then had some stuff going on when I came back. The Jerk from SS called me and yelled that they were going to rat me out to my neurologist that I wasnt taking the C. (my neuro has already told me that if I feel that I need a few days off of the stabby things, to go ahead)

and yes, I do feel that I'm being harassed by SS (ever feel the initials "SS" are an appropriate name for them sometimes?)

Just stop answering their calls. Or block their number. I'd write them a letter telling them to stop calling. Lots of different things you could do........a last resort would be to change your number.

Weird, I never had them harrass me. They actually asked me about frequency of contact, and we agreed on what would be convenient for me. Hmmm. Maybe new people there?

They called me alot in the first three months, and less towards six. I never hear from them anymore. In the early days I appreciated hearing from them, and was scared of taking needles and so on. it was nice. as the year marched on, I didnt need them, and they really did back off.

Call their 1-800 number, and ask to be removed from their calling list. I am sure they will remove you. Till then, its all computer generated, and the nurse is just calling the number that pops up on her screen.

Im sorry C didnt work for you. its all such a crap shoot. scary.

As long as you are in any type of assistance program with them you probably can't get them to stop calling. Best to relax and look at it as a call from a friend, maybe one you don't love a bunch.

This sounds good to me. It would be what I would do for sure.

I told my nurse she'll never be able to reach me at home because I'm out at work all day during their business hours. I said they're welcome to leave a message on my machine, but in all honesty they probably won't get a call back unless something's dreadfully wrong.

Of course now, I'm not even doing my shots.
