Prescription Meds

Hi All,

I also posted this in Medical Prep threads, but I know most people check this thread.  I'll copy here as I think this is important info.

Hi All,

My mom has a condition called Trigimenal Niralgia that is an exposed nerve in her brain.  Needless to say, it causes her incredible pain.  Her doctor (reluctantly) gave her a 9 month prescription to cover any breakdown in economy or availability and I looked on-line to see about getting the meds without using insurance.  First, US meds are outrageous, and second insurance only covers month to month.  I found this website and 9 months of her pain meds were only 200.00.  It is legit, you fax or email the prescription and they verify with your dr. that they can cover it.

PLEASE prep for long-term meds.  The though of anybody becoming sick not from the bird-flu but because they didn't have their meds is depressing!  This CO. is out of Canada.  Maybe our government should look at Canada's method of ensuring their people are healthy and taken care of.  Sad we let the pharmacutical companies rip us off here in the US

Canadian online pharmacy?  Quick trip to Mexico?

Same problem here in Canada..can only get 2-3 months at a time..I am on prsription that I take 10 days a month and my doctor makes my sript for 30 days take one a day that way there I can get 3 months ata time and will be going to pharmacy next week and getting a second bottle I will have atleast 6 months of this one and will book another app and get another script and get more asthma inhalers...and more of my second meds get 50 of those in a bottle and I have one bottle and have one repeat and will get more of those also and pick up all these in April...and hopefully have enough

Thanks Marzantar.  I know about getting the Mexican prescriptions before you bring them back into the US.  The man who went to get his wife's Xanax and ended up getting arrested just broke my heart.  I've heard that all you have to do is go to the Farmacia and they will send you to a Dr. to get your written prescriptions.  I'm closer to Nogales, but they're all the same.  Believe me, going to MX will be my last resort.  If I can't get our RX's before TSHTF, then I will probably just wean myself off and who knows, maybe I will even get better after getting off all these meds.  

Hi Redcloud and welcome!  I get our RX's from mail order and get a 3 mo supply, which is all our insurance will allow.  So, I guess I will do that and get another 3 months from Canada.  At least we will have a 6 months supply.  I'm just appalled that we are not able to get a years supply, especially when our government knows we could be attacked by terrorists or God knows what and will need to have our meds if the economy goes bad.  Not only that, our Drs. refused to give us prescriptions for some of our meds, like Xanax and pain meds.  I don't know why they are so paranoid about it.  Like I'm going to sell them or something?  NOT!!  My husband has ostoarthritis and I have Fibromyalgia.  I told him maybe we should do like the grandmas and grandpas in Mexico and make up our own home remedy.  I don't know what they call it in Mexico but the translation is Marahol.  They rub it on and swear it works better than any pain pill you could take.

* It works, to use the words of a friend I suggested it to,
here in Canada, "I got my life back".

Give it a try. Once the injections take, you may have
relief for up to 6-months+. It may take up to 2-monthly injections,
before it kicks in.

There is an investigational surgical equivlanet as
well in the U.S, touted as a permanent fix, you can Google for more info.
The science is sound. If you have the money, I'd investigate.

This therapy is availabe through neurologists in the U.S. or Canada.
They have two forms of botox, if the first one does not work, ask for the
other. Efficacy rate is upwards of 75%. It requires a monthly visit to the
doc, and for a few minutes your head is turned into a pin-cushion. Not as
bad as an actual migraine.

If it does not work, at least you'll look as pretty, as the women on
Desperate Housewives. Minus facial
expressions.
