Hello all -
Been a while since posting but always come to read and learn. My wife, age 58, has had RSD in her left hand, arm, and shoulder for going on 10 years. The only medication that really works for her is Hyrdocodone. She has tried others but does not like the feel of being totally out of it. She is tough and manages with the Hydrocodone. Lyrica made her ill, morphine made her a zombie. Her injury was work related so she is on SSD and Medicare. Her Hydrocodone was $6 a month and in January shot up to $31.50. Anyone else see this change? She is on AARP Secure Horizones. Any other plans still have this on a lowerw tier or is this how the government is going to finance the national debt? After all, she got an $11 raise in benefits but Medicare went up $14 a month. Some raise.

Anyway, are there others pain meds similar that may still be Tier 2?
Thanks all. This forum is a wonderful wealth of info and a lifesaver to many.
