Disgusting! :(

Pam

I'm still so sorry you had to switch. I know its bad with pain medicines.

Its just as bad when they switch the people that are taking seizure
meds for seizures.

Especially when they don't try to keep them on the same generic.

This is so wrong.

THank heavens I am day two of no migraines...I don't feel right yet, but I know it's coming, I just have to titer up again slowly, I am so ticked off about this unfair change forced on me like that, I wish there was more we as patients could do. :(

Thanks for caring Donna & Mari. I saw this and got mad all over again and had to post the link since it explains really well what happened to me and so many other people.

Unbelievable!!!! I was on Axid,about ten years ago,which is in the first page of that report. The Insurance people wouldn't pay for it anymore. They said it was the wrong medicine for my condition. I had bad heartburn,and irritation in my throat. I still have the problems. This makes me angry too. These people are fellow Americans.##&!#$% BF:mad:

I know! It's terrible and shameful. DR'S Should be the ones to control what we can and cannot be Rx'd. :( NOT insurance companies run by (you're so right BF) fellow americans who have to live with what they do to real people. :(

Dear Pam,
This is shameful and a short sighted way to run health care. We need a bigger say in what goes on in our own medical care.

I am hopeful that we could have good changes at some point in the future.
