Errata: Appropriations vs. Authorization
My husband's insurance carrier recently changed its mail order pharmacy. As a result, he had to send his prescriptions for the usual two month's supply of all of his medications at one time to the new Rx. Without his insurance, the bill would have been over nine hundred dollars! Ouch! And I doubt if this is unusual. Like so many PWPs, this includes other meds beside those classified as PD drugs. He also requires an anti-inflammatory drug for arthritis, one for osteomalacia, Ambien to help him sleep, and Lorazepam for those times when his body feels like it had been invaded by hyperactive worms. It is certainly no economy to avoid concentrating research funds on a way to overcome this problem that we share. I suspect the pharmaceutical houses may not fully agree, however.
