Greystreet-- wow, what an ordeal you've been through! All to keep with the same regimen. Would your primary care doctor be able to pick up writing the scripts for you since you have a history of illness and have been taking these medications for so long now? I saw a rheumatologist some months back. Once she diagnosed me she said i could go to my primary care for follow ups for medication refills. But i know the fda reclassified some meds putting tighter controls on their availability, qty of refills, and how soon you can refill them. Its affected one that i've taken for years. But at least my primary care dr can still prescribe it. I would hate to start at ground zero w pain management because it seems like they all want to do injections which really run up my out of pocket expenses and do nothing for me.
