Hi All. I just wanted to share something with you. I have a prescription for a salve for my scalp that I have used for a few years now. Usually it cost me right around $40 with my insurance picking up the rest. When 2015 started I went in to the pharmacy to get a refill and discovered that my insurance company changed how they did prescriptions and that the cost of prescriptions now went towards your (my) deductable. So, my just-under-$40-med now was going to cost me over $212! Talk about sticker shock! Well, I needed a refill again and had put off getting it as it was so much money. Yesterday I was talking to a co-worker and she suggested that I go on-line and type in the name of the medicine, add the word 'coupon' after it and Google it to see if there were any coupons out there. I did and I am happy to say that my prescription will now cost me less than $43!!! And it's going to stay this price forever! I didn't even have to switch pharmacy's or anything like that. Just printed out this coupon thingy and took it in to the pharmacist and they did the work. The website it came from is GoodRX.com. So, if any of you are paying way too much for prescriptions you might want to try doing what I did and do a Google search. I saved over $170 by trying it!!!
This is great! Thanx!

I read somewhere that krill oil helped reduce the cholesterol but it's been a few years now and if my counts are still high then I'll jump on the statin bandwagon. This'll be my first time taking a continued dose of a pharmaceutical so I guess that officially puts me in the old peoples category. Now I need to go shopping for men's pants that rise to mid-abdomen so I can put my white belt on directly under my pectorals.

This made me laugh! I'm still giggling--thanks :D
