Well, Thursday was okay until about 10:00 pm, when I started getting another headache while going to bed. This one didn't really progress, though, so I was able to get to sleep at a reasonable hour. I woke up at 1:40 am with a moderate headache, and used the hot washcloth for about 30 minutes until it subsided enough for me to get back to sleep. I woke up again at 5:20 am with a bad headache that lasted almost an hour with the hot washcloths.
Aliscia went to pick up my Zomig from Wal Mart after noon, and they informed her that it was not quite ready and that the insurance said I wasn't eligible to refill it until the 19th, but could pay $180 to get it now. I called the doctor's office, then Aetna, to try to get it straightened out. Aetna told me that although the medication was pre-authorized, the quantity was rejected. They will only allow me 6 pills every 19 days. I go through 6 pills in 3 days easily. I will probably be done with the cycle by then! They said the doctor's office would have to resubmit. I called the nurse again, and she apologized. She had been so happy that the pre-auth was approved the second time, she neglected to notice that the quantity was not.
I told Aliscia to go ahead and get the script filled so I'll have something for the weekend. I'll figure out how to pay for it later.
