This has totally happened to me! Have to go to several different pharmacies and fight with them that my med allows me to be semi-normal! I have issues getting name brand Lyrica which is what I take for my Fibro

I’m sorry you’re having trouble getting your meds—that sounds so frustrating! What I really wanted to say, though, was that I appreciate the phrase Chronically Awesome! That made me laugh. 😄 Hope you can get your meds more reliably again soon!

I can’t find a single doctor that even wants to consider giving me any kind of pain meds.

I get lidocaine infusions. There are shortages on lidocaine and IV bags.
