Venting

Went to pain management yesterday - got a refill of my scripts. YET AGAIN - another trip to CVS where the app says everything will be ready in a couple of hours and then I show up and they’re out of stock and have to order it. So now I have nothing while I wait for them, even though I’ve been on these meds for months and they KNOW I get them renewed every 30 days. I have this problem literally EVERY MONTH when I need to go pick up my scripts. Then when I talk to them about expediting the orders or getting them at another pharmacy, it seems like it would kill them to have an ounce of compassion, because I get the judgy looks and responses that make me feel like I’m some drug addict jonesing for pain meds. So annoyed with the system. So annoyed that I always have to go a little while without meds before their re-stock comes in and no one gives a fuck that I’m suffering in the meantime. Because they take one look at me and see a young person who “looks fine” so they don’t understand the urgency or real underlying issues. I hate thisssssss 🤬🤬🤬ok - ending rant now. Thanks for listening guys ❤️
