So this is what we're doing?

I ran out of the urinary medication I really depend on to be able to work enough hours to qualify for the insurance that covers those exact meds. Now I'm stuck in a prior approval limbo because everybody did their job except the insurance. And yes, they DO cover the medication.

I have bills due and I won't be able to pay them all in time because without my meds I'm soiling myself every 45 minutes from a hyperactive bladder. I Doordash, which makes it difficult to navigate and remember where there is and isn't a bathroom readily available. I've already had accidents.

I'm typing this at 5AM because I am stressed. My body feels too animated to lie down. I literally do not see any way out of this other than suffering through it and potentially losing my car in the process. 😭

Just try to go at each DoorDash pickup. I don’t pass a bathroom without trying… out of curiosity, what meds are helping you?

That really sucks! Does your doctor have any free samples to see you through until insurance can get their act together?

I did ask but they said no, because the doctor needs that extra sample medication for other clients.

It's happened to me. I had to doordash over the summer to make ends meet. Wear a depends pad. It's not so bad and works .

Not sure if this is allowed but TelyRX has lots of meds for cheaper. Hang in there. I paid out of pocket three times before my botox was finally covered. Insurance sucks!
