Itchin'-and-a-Scratchin'

The doctor told me what I have and prescribed a course of treatment. To my surprise...EVERYTHING I had been doing was WRONG...which is why my condition was getting WORSE. All those ointments and creams were FEEDING my condition instead of STARVING it. Who knew???

So he calls in a "script" to my local pharmacy and about two hours later, it was ready for pickup.

Since this was my first time with this prescription, the pharmacist gave me a consultation. In the consultation, he repeated pretty much everything that the doctor told me with regard to what I had been using, and why it wasn't working. This new stuff I'll have to take (and keep taking as prescribed) even if the rash appears to be completely gone. Got it!

He rings me up, I pay, and go about my merry way.

On the walk home I happened to look at the bag and see that my insurance SAVED me $53.99

WHOA!!!

That's crazy! It's a major BLESSING, but WOW...$53.99

Of course...I uttered a prayer of THANKS. Thankful that I have a job that offers a great healthcare benefits package. I mean seriously...I am six days away from my next paycheck and if it had not been for my insurance, I would not have been able to get today's prescription because I simply do not have the extra $53.99 in the account.

As the saying goes...God may not always give you what you WANT...but He ALWAYS gives you what you NEED.

So there you have it. I look forward to reporting SOON that this dreadful rash has gone for good.

Til then...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever tried to "self-treat" yourself out of an illness, only to make it WORSE?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
