💊 SCARY MEDICATION FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY! 😷 (6.19.17)

[@thefreylife]

Hey Everyone! I just wanted to clarify that our feelings about Mary's new medication are in no way a distrust of them coming from another country... it is simply the fact that the process of ordering and obtaining Domperidone in the mail from Canada was so different from our "normal" procedure of picking it up at the pharmacy. We absolutely trust the medication (because Mary wouldn't be taking it if we didn't). I'm sure that many of you can appreciate the uneasy feelings of having to order a medication that isn't available in your own country.

[@debbievidal9536]

The Frey Life well no.....not everything produced in the US is hunky dory and above board. it seems rather small minded to think that other countries are behind eg Benadryl is banned in Europe!

[@drina4706]

The Frey Life You guys came across differently. I felt insulted. I get the ordering from an online pharmacy fear. But as for Canadian medication you can read up on how well it is regulated. Anyway, thanks for clarifying.

[@angelaseay907]

They are not the only ones that feel that way educate instead of put folks down.

[@2listening1]

It's also that some Americans do it without their doctor's instructions, so "mail order" has a bad reputation, not Canada.

[@Joy.Elizabeth]

definitely understand where you guys are coming from!!

[@ZensGem87]

Ok I just gotta say that I totally understand their pause about the medication. It's different and for someone with chronic illness and a compromised immune system there's a lot to consider. I'd be concerned about whether I'd get ripped off ordering online, it being safe traveling, and if there's similar contamination protocol to keep my system safe. All along with concerns you get with any new meds. The medication sounds like a high end French champagne lol. Think of it as the fine wine of meds. Which makes sense cuz Mary deserves the finest available 💖

[@puppielove591]

SereneChaos exactly! I get nervous even trying any new medication, especially when its one that is unusual or related to something that made it worse before.

[@courtneylovesreading4116]

I am noticing several comments by multiple frustrated viewers in response to what Mary said. She is basically saying that it feels sketchy getting medications from a foreign country. She is in no way trying to disrespect the medical community in Canada.

[@maggiejean5403]

I also think it's mainly because it comes in the mail, in a different bottle, and it's a medication she hasn't seen before. It's much different from walking into a pharmacy to get medicine where you see the people directly responsible for giving you the right medication.

[@JKCJFM]

I would trust Canada over any other country but I understand your concern. Good luck Mary, I hope the new medicine helps you. By the way, Ollie playing with his ball outside was so fun to watch.

[@EarlsFamilyVlogs]

Love the lamps that are seeing the light of day in the office haha. I am currently working on my office and my wife is working on the nursery. As always y'all are always so positive and a joy to watch. And may the beaver cow Rest In Peace.

[@adairdupree4226]

I love you guys so much you are my inspiration bc I'm 13 and have cf too💕stay positive bc sometimes that's the only thing that keeps me positive❤️❤️❤️

[@MissaLVT]

Disney Gamer, I just have to say that I see your comments on lots of posts on the Frey Life and you have got to be one of the sweetest, most sincere people I've "met" on here! Thank you for encouraging so many people! God bless you!

[@MissaLVT]

Adair Dupree, You keep hangin' in there! You've got lots of people cheering you on!

[@adairdupree4226]

Thank you guys all so much❤️❤️

[@cameleoncom]

Your videos always make my day! I refill every Sunday for a week two of these (morning and evening). Sending you lots of hugs from germany!

[@tracyrubin5053]

No more compounding of the medication per my Gastroenterologist, The FDA freaked out... I hope the med works for you...it didn't for me. Gastroparesis is a tough chronic illness especially when already dealing with a chronic illness! You remain in my thoughts and prayers! You are a WARRIOR!!!

[@FuzziePickle13]

just wanted to say i love mary and peter.i don't go to church but i sure do love listening to peter the glasses worked out for you.mary you have such a beautiful soul and i always go around telling myself and my friends do what you think you can't do.thanks guys for letting us in your lives

[@sayswice5621]

The feeding tube's alarm sounds like it's saying "PEE-TER! PEE-TER!"

[@jjohnson1174]

You guys are the best! I have been home sick for a week and I have never laughed so hard in a long time! You guys made my day! Don't forget to laugh everyday!

[@karenblanck7726]

In support of their feelings, I think I would be nervous about ordering anything that my country hasn't approved yet, regardless of where it's coming from for the simple fact that I'm not knowledgeable about the drug approval and control processes of other countries. I'm sure there are other counties that have even stricter regulations than the US, including Canada. My reservations would only be because I'm not knowledgeable. Feeling uncomfortable about something is simply that and shouldn't be construed as an insult against a country or its people.

[@sarahelizabeth623]

Just have to say I have "Do What You Think You Can't Do" as the lock screen on my phone. Today I put my whale shirt on and it wasn't as tight in the arms as my CF team shirt from Great Strides was. Thanks for reminding me to push myself every day, even in the gym. I had a non-scale victory today because I have trying to do what I think I can't do. Thanks, Frey Life. :) I felt like you and Mr. Whale were my encouragement.

[@sallytheseeker9358]

Enjoyed the vlog. Ollie is adorable as always. Mary and Peter are a ray of sunshine, and Peter is rocking the flamingo t-shirt. Don't forget to laugh every day. It takes a lot less energy than tearing others down.

[@dorothycranfill3106]

Regarding medication orders. Our local Walgreens has a free program you can sign up for. They will notify you when it's time refill. You can just click refill on the email and they will tell you what time it will be ready.

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

I used to have a system for medication refills, but, some things changed, so I'm going to the pharmacy four or more times per month! Some meds can be filled every 3 months, some are monthly because of the way my silly insurance pays. I usually fill my pill cases weekly. My husband is a huge help with managing when I need to get refills. We just check the bottles frequently. Kind of a screwy system. I much prefer to have all refills due at the same time.

[@2listening1]

9:20 Mary, don't you guys think that stuffed toy is like those flipping Kinder toys that are 2 animals like a shark and Kangaroo, or something like that, was it?? HAHA!!

[@MissaLVT]

2listening1 😂😂😂😂

[@keric3673]

Ollie is such a chill dog, just like my dog! For my medicine refills, I use a mail order which sends them to me every 3 months however my meds aren't all refilled at the same time for some reason so I feel like I'm always refilling something. As for the weekly containers, I try to remember to fill them but I often forget. Luckily my meds are kept in my bedroom.

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

Peter you are so much like my hubby. I am suffering from 1 life threatening disease and several permanent chemo related side effects. And it makes it so hard on our everyday life. My husband has stood by me through the most difficult times. And has helped more than most spouses would. And to know that there is a younger couple that resembles us in this way, is so beautiful.

[@Beckers316]

When Peter was preparing feeding, Ollie was like "Excuse me I am trying to take a nap here" too funny

[@kikiinthegarden]

You guys rock! ❤️

[@courtneycox8297]

Mary, you might consider painting a happy clam!

[@imacrafty1]

Hi guys!! I just want to give you both a pat on the back for dealing with Mary's health issues so bravely and gracefully. I am proud of you both! Keep up the good work! Take care & God bless you both.

[@beckyhmltn]

Mary & Peter, regarding when and how I reorder Rxs. I have a 100 count, daily Hormone blocker for Breast Cancer that I order when I have filled my double week pill holder and the bottle is nearly empty. I call or go online to reorder from my health care provider. It comes in the mail and charges me my co-pay to a credit card. The other Rx I order is a bone growth pill I take weekly and it come in 3 x 4 pill pack (12weeks) My Rx mail order can take up to 10 days so I also make sure not to have less than 2 weeks of that. I've also ordered recommend meds from Amazon such as Flax Seed Oil or Fish Oil. These can also be picked up at big membership stores like Costco or my Military Commissary where I shop weekly. I'm always safe to have all my pills if I use the two week pill holders and shop or order before they are used up.

[@jenniferwarren2446]

You two are just adorable! It's so refreshing to see a young couple so in Love and so respectful of each other! 😊💖 Mary, you are such an inspiration for other People who have CF! Keep smiling girlie! 🙏🏻💖😘

[@drina4706]

Thanks for clarifying your statements, Mary and Peter. I appreciate that. Canada and the US are sister countries. We should love and help each other more and have an even stronger relationship with one another!!!😃☺😄 🇺🇸💖🍁

[@paulinesmith4845]

makes me thank God for our amazing NHS here in the UK

[@KellyHanna95]

Hey I've been watching for the last few months. A friend of mine has had a tube fitted recently and your videos have helped me understand what she has had to go through and also help me see what support she needed! Thankyou for doing what you do! You are truly a wonderful and enlightening person! And also Thankyou peter for showing that a little help is only a step away! You are a fantastic and delight to watch! Ollie is so gorgeous! I am hopefully rescuing a poodle whose name is Jax, from a shelter that's close to me if he gets on with my gorgeous girl Bobbi! 🐶❤️ Also this vlog was posted on my 22nd birthday 🎉 Kel 💜

[@2listening1]

Mary, the important thing is to REMEMBER to refill those OREOS @ your local Walgreen's! ;) "They're CAAAALLLLLLLLorIIIIFIC!!!! " :D

[@mommanook8714]

My pharmacy offers auto refill for prescriptions. My meds get filled automatically on the same day every month and I get a recorded messages from the pharmacy that the meds are ready for pick up. At home I use a 31 day med system with daily pill boxes. I refill them once a month. Tell Ollie that my dog Petey had a fulfilling day ripping the stuffing out of a dinosaur.

[@callabeth258]

I love how much Peter loves launching the cap off the feeding tube!

[@heathersmith4774]

Your medication looks like a rainbow. Colors of all shades. Rainbow of life.

[@janewiseman]

I admit that 'mail order moment' also made me uncomfortable BUT we all have different opinions and I am grateful for this community that was able to respectfully (mostly) discuss prescription drugs and the differences about regulation. Thanks taking the time to clarify a point that clearly struck a cord 🙏 You guys are awesome!

[@wietskevaatstra9847]

Hey guys loving your vlogs!! I can't keep my Eplilepsy meds in a holder - they have to come straight out of the blister pack or they lose their efficacy. Thanks for the honour and privilege of allowing us to share in your life every day - love y'all ❤️

[@lauravietmeier7427]

I love it!! "Follow the feeding tube line!" Well you get the analogy!!! I also have the med card you were using prior to your new one. I personally like those because the meds are more secure if you drop the case by accident!

[@catherinemortimer7956]

Our pharmacist puts meds into pill packs for each week, so prescriptions are filled by her faxing the doctor when needed. We can pick up packs weekly or monthly. They are divided into times when needed each day. Great service!

[@madison8568]

One of my doctors wants me to take this because of overall poor motility but I am unsure about getting it because it is not FDA approved. I think you should also get a gastric emptying to confirm or disprove your Gastroparesis diagnosis because if you are taking all these scary medications and you haven't had the gold standard diagnostic test and you end up not having it you are taking a risk you don't need to

[@MarisaAndChew]

I thought *"Why is Mary holding a demonic skunk?"* LOL!!!!!! Beaver cow thing!!

[@WinnerWinnerEmmaDinner]

In the past i forgot what medication i'd taken in a day and I'd end up OD'ing and making myself sick, so now my pharmacy puts all my medication in a box for mon-fri which i collect weekly, i do still forget sometimes but at least now i can't get sick.

[@socalplanner4787]

I put a small bright blue fluffy ball in my pill case a day before I need a refill. ☺

[@2listening1]

Oh, that's a great idea! Ollie would like it if he saw the ball, too, heh, heh! :)

[@cindyriggan8608]

That's a great idea but how long does it take you to get your refills? Out of curiosity how do you tell which medication is it for? i never thought about when i run pout put something in that day before that will not mess the pills up to go back to either but i net cotton work since cotton is packed in most medications. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@SoCalPlanner]

My pharmacy has worked with my doctors so all my meds renew at the same time. So it helps me so much because I have major brain fog. Plus I am obsessed with planners which help keep me on track. Check me out on IG @socalplanner

[@anitasmith6726]

Mary, I have taken domperidone for almost 2 1/2 years, I take one before each meal and at bedtime. Mine comes from the U.K. I have never had a problem. I was having so much pain and problems with eating and digestion but since being on it, things are better. I have what is diabetic gastroparesis. Don't be scared. Reglan is what they have here and it has bad side effects. But this does not.

[@blackeyedbutterfly]

anita smith I agree with this! I am Canadian and have taken both medication and the Reglan I had the weird side effects. Donparadon is used widely in canada I think you need to keep an eye on your ECG especially if underweight.

[@anitasmith6726]

blackeyedbutterfly wish I was underweight, but way overweight.

[@blackeyedbutterfly]

anita smith being underweight can come with just as many complications as being overweight, mentally and physically. feeling healthy is a good goal to keep in mind. we are all different shapes and sizes and that generally changes for everyone overtime. I hope you can get a he support you need to be happy and healthy. I know it is difficult, but you don't need to walk this journey alone. 😊❤

[@anitasmith6726]

I have lots of support from family and friends and My Drs. I keep my diabetes under good control and watch what I eat and follow Drs directions and orders. Blackeyedbutterfly I really appreciate your feedback and concern. Thank you very much. I also have a wonderful man in my life and God to watch over me. I like all of us have good days and bad. But I have learned to enjoy the good days and when they are bad I do like Mary and "do what I think I can't do". Thanks again for your encouragement.

[@jewelhaines8842]

Aww! Little Ollie wanting up on the sofa!! 😊 I love you guys! ❤ Side note: your Desk looks great! I am on like 8 medications. I have FINALLY got it to where all my refills are due at the same time!! 😄

[@Nelle4ever]

Jewel Haines That's the dream!

[@pinkagave4774]

I agree Canada is not scary at all. I used to order meds from Canada because they were cheaper and they shipped from their maker in India! The only draw back is like you said: a loooong lead time to receive them.

[@kimberlyk3928]

Hi Mary. I live in Canada and I know you can totally trust the medication you got from here. I sure hope it helps you!!

[@charislouis3989]

I'm so surprised by all of the negative comments on this vlog 🙁 You guys are amazing and positive and I really love watching your daily videos! I can empathize with the feeling of being uncomfortable ordering a med online from another country -- makes perfect sense!

[@ritaelona7513]

Hi I don't have a serious illness but do take some mess. I have a monthly pill organizer and I have my prescriptions filled automatically. Also having the monthly organizer gives me a head start if I need to refill.

[@waaakeup69]

Omg. Those beeps from Mary's equipment just after the beaver cow convo sounded just like my fire alarm. I shot up from my chair and everything 😂

[@zeenapeena9541]

my doctor says to take the domparidon with some food in your stomach. BTW I live in Canada.

[@DawnOnye]

They use domperidone for building milk supply for breastfeeding mothers as well.

[@thegastroparesisgoofball1030]

I was on domeperidone for a while for Gastroparesis. It worked great for me! I eventually had to stop due to some weird side effects, but the good thing about domperidone is that the side effects aren't permanent. As for my system of refilling prescriptions. I fill my combler each week, and if I notice the bottle getting low, then I refill so I can fill them for the next week.

[@jennym9743]

I've never used pill cases but I refill my medication when I'm extremely low because the pharmacy has a certain date when I'm allowed to refill them. Unless they automatically refilled them then I get them even if it's early. Love you guys!!

[@WhatAboutJacob804]

I LOVE power washers!! Your deck looks so great!! It is so satisfying to see all of the junk just disappear! And I have hypothyroidism, so I need Levothyroxine every morning, but I am so bad at remembering it as I've only been on them a few months, so honestly I remember to refill when I get to like 2 or 3 pills in the bottom of my bottle...I'm not a good patient, but I'm working on it! Also, you two are so positive and kind and keep up your goofy, loving spirits!!

[@elizabetherickson2406]

auto refill! is life for me through the pharmacy. haha, and I fill my comblers once a week! LOVE YOU GUYS AND YOUR VLOGS! ♡

[@barbiec323]

Canadian medication, even mail order is just as safe as in the USA. I used to work in a hospital, helping ppl with their medications and their Medicare. At the time Medicare did not have part D and everyone had to pay for their own Meds. I used to research on the internet for good deals on medications. Canada was one of the least expensive places to buy from. Since we lived in NJ everything was sent mail order. I had doctors that I could ask questions and they all said if you can get it from Canada, do so. Don't be afraid.

[@wolfsrule100]

At the beginning of every month my medicines actually get delivered to my door for that month. It's super easy! Then I just refill the pill case weekly

[@DawnOnye]

I refill when I am filling my tumblers and i see I am either out or can't complete my week.

[@matthewre3176]

You guys are such a amazing couple!!!

[@heather6711]

I use a medication reminder app called Round, which reminds me to take my medications at a certain time, and it tells me when I only have have 5 tablets left and need to refill the prescription again

[@StephSarleno]

Some of my prescriptions I refill just when I'm getting low but other prescriptions I get automatically sent to me every 3 months. P.S. I love your videos and I look forward to them everyday!

[@Judymontel]

oh those LAMPS!! They're perfect!

[@lindapulido3779]

I've taken the same med from Canada and it really helped me.. Hope you have them results

[@callabeth258]

I'm a pharmacist in Australia and we have an SMS reminder service for people's prescriptions. We have it set up in our computer when people are due to get new meds and we send a message to their phone to which the patients can reply saying if they want them or not.

[@sweetcanada17]

Don't worry too much about it. The Canadian pharmaceuticals are pretty safe, and my prescription medications come in bottles that look exactly like this one that you got.

[@witoldyna]

I live in the states for almost 5 years. I lived in Europe (2 countries)and traveled to many. I can tell you US medicines are way more dangerous than Canadian, UK or many other countries. I'd trust Canada more than States in health respect.

[@kamt3212]

Oh Mary, My fingers so much appreciate the push bar down "comblers." The flip lids sometimes tear my finger skin. Be careful. They are pretty though. :)

[@kcmobaseballmom]

I refill my meds as soon as insurance allows even if I was in the hospital. This allows me to have some extra in case of an emergency. Things like a snow storm or other crisis that would delay getting refills.

[@Nelle4ever]

I finally figured out to scroll down to the middle or the bottom of the comments! KZbin puts the comments with more "reactions" at the top, not the newest comments. I'm here for the support and the community.

[@kathleenbeaman6712]

I can't wait to save enough for the flamingo shirts. This year will mark my husband and my's 39 th wedding anniversary. We met 38 years ago when he asked me to dance 💃 at the Flamingo Hotel ( in the lounge part ) in Santa Rosa, CA what a magical night. I am forever grateful to the Flamingo. I'm told it's now a resort.

[@milena.schneider6546]

We love you all mary!!!

[@patnorton2407]

I have a different system for pills - my individual sections of my containers are larger and so I put a whole prescription of one pill in one slot and another pill in another slot, and so on. Then each day I take out pills as I need them. That way it's easy to see when I'm running low for anyone pill.

[@lauragadille3384]

For my refills Meijer will call me to remind me, so then I call in, I do the automatic system and then pick them up the next day.

[@normajeanmonroe4404]

It's sad to see people unsubscribe to your channel maybe it's because your always unwell and people get depressed in hearing about peoples illnesses . Sad I know but we are living in 2017 and these are the uncaring people that sadly only thinking about there selves. BUT I'm a true follower from 2017 onwards . I have the same thing as you Mary and on the same treatments so I know what your going though. love you both to have a religious study with us about the bible it would be lovely to here you both spread gods word. I love the Frey life.

[@joannlovespapillons]

DOMPERIDONE - I use it too & it actually has made it better, not 100% as I also have IBS-C so take Amitiza as well. Oh, my doctor actually processed the Dom scrip for me & I had to just verify the information with the Canadian pharmacy. There is another SPAM company called Online Canadian Pharmacy that's been reported numerous times but you can tell the difference The spam one is always a person with an Asian accent & there's always a pause when you answer the phone. Good luck with your Domperidone.

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

People need to calm down and stop all the hate. The Frey' s are the 2 most amazing young people ever. They don't need to show people what to expect from this horrific disease, but they do. And ordering anything from another country can and a lot of times is sketchy. They didn't say the country was, just the ordering process was, but of course people make it more than it is. You all should go watch "we are the world" music video. It reminds me that only we can change the world. The more hate you spread on here the worse life will be. The more positivity you show and compassion the better your life will be.

[@overcomingfrankie30]

My refill routine: I get automated prescriptions each month so I don't even need to go in and order them the pharmacy order them from my doctor on I think the 10th of every months but I have a few meds kept aside so I pick them up around 13th of each month. Dosettes/pill cases/comblers: I have a 7-day 4-interval dosette chamber because I have meds different times of the day, and I use all 4 pods each day (morning, noon, evening, bed) and I have 2 of those so I set them up every other week which is nice because it's such a huge job and even though it's doubled doing them like that, I only have to face it in one go! But yeah I keep I think 5 days' worth on hand in case there's a pharmacy issue or if I need to go to hospital because I have to take them in their packaging or the hospital won't let me take them and I would be waiting a while for the hospital pharmacy to process my prescriptions. (This is in NHS England)

[@vickiem.6096]

My husband was on a medication that we had to order from Shoppers drug Mart. His Doctor had to consult with a Doctor in Canada who in turn submitted the prescription. Then the medication went through Customs before it could be mailed to us. I am on 13 meds. & my husband is on 5. We refill either as needed or when I get tired of being nagged by the Pharmacy. 💞🙏

[@keela8097]

Yesssssss another vlog. I can't get enough of them lmao

[@kathleenbeaman6712]

Thank you for the info on Domperidome ( hope I spelled it right ) I'm suggesting it for my daughter, who has the same problem. Thank you again Mary and Peter.

[@noramccray2942]

HOPE THE NEW MEDICATION DOES THE TRICK! YOUR ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS! PS WE DIDNT GET TO SEE PETER'S FINISHED​HARD WORK ON THE NICE POWER WASHED DECK! VLOG IT FOR US IF YOU CAN!

[@hollyloughlin7440]

My wife marks on her calendar 3 or 4 days before the 1 month mark. Refilling it just a few days early means that over time she builds up a supply of spare meds for the time when there are insurance hiccups or problems getting refills or travel, etc. that interrupts our ability to get meds on time.

[@tedrawillers818]

Fun fact! Donperidone is also prescribed to breastfeeding moms that are struggling to produce milk as it helps to increase their milk supply! I (a Canadian!) took it for many months when we first had our son. It can cause dry mouth and headaches as well as well... lactation! But I hope it's everything you need!

[@piahesse3836]

Here in Sweden I have to contact my doctor for new prescriptions after 4 outtake. I often order my medicin on line from a site here in Sweden. I can go to a farmacy and buy it, but it's cheaper to buy on line.

[@andrea-co3xi]

Omg my grandpa takes Domperidon (can't spell it!) too, and he jokes that it's Don Perignon like the wine 🍷

[@cindyriggan8608]

andie that's funny! Tell him I said keep rocking on probably about the same price! Thda laugh I had to answer you!

[@joannlovespapillons]

MY SCRIPT THOUGHT - I use the 3 month plan (Express Scripts-90 days for 60 day cost) BUT I have my regular Medes on auto refill. If it's a new med, I go one month @ a time.

[@WackyLisa]

I mostly trust the synchronized refill program at my pharmacy. Sadly due to insurance I still have to make trips several times a month. Eye drops I refill by scan since the number of doses in a bottle varies.

[@angelafischer7608]

I had a medication that my Doctor told me I might have to get from Canada too! I felt the same way.

[@sillyhumanthings]

I refill my pill box every Saturday morning. As for refills I have it set up at the pharmacy to refill automatically and they tell me when it's ready, because otherwise I will forget to refill until I look and there aren't anymore left lol.

[@lindak5038]

I have an extra large pill case that fits all my doses for a whole week. I refill the case on Sunday mornings and that's when I know if I'm ready for any refills. This system gives me at least a week before I run out of anything. It also makes it easy to see if I forgot to take a dose 😉

[@SpaceCasefy]

Usually my meds are monthly but lately my doctor has been able to get me 3 month prescriptions. It's nice when I'm at school/living in a different state because then my mom doesn't have to mail me my meds every month. But they weren't all changed to 3 month at the same time so I still have a drug renewal almost every month. I'm fairly forgetful so I use an app (medisafe) to remind me when to refill each med. I just put in how many pills I have, how many I take each day (and set reminders to take them), and to remind me when I have a certain number of pills left. When I'm at home I have the reminder set to 7 day otherwise I have it set to like 13 days to factor in me forgetting to send the refill request and how long it takes my mom to mail it and to get to me. I haven't missed any refills in 3 years of living away from home (though I did cut it close a couple times).

[@imacrafty1]

I keep a medication list for hospital visits including dosages and times of day I take them. Just because I take soooo many medications. I designed my own form as i needed it to make it easier for hospital personnel. Also, you may want to check out a service called pill packs. They send your meds packaged for how you take them. Mornings, afternoons, eaves and nights. It may simplify things for you.

[@apriltatum5543]

I'm like Mary, when I'm refilling my combler and I'm running low on a Rx I will call them in. I love your old comblers with the little push buttons, do you remember where you got those? I've been on the hunt. Praying in Houston ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@2listening1]

You're a third of the way to the second hundred thousand subs, y'all! :)

[@2Blessed]

That's what they said - second hundred thousand is the same as two!

[@2listening1]

Right, they would be actually more like 4/6 of the way "to" 200,000, but 1/3 of the way through the second 100,000! ( or something like that! ;)

[@allielove7787]

I refill my pill container on Sunday evenings since I have an AM PM pill container. I refill my meds when I get low on my meds or sometimes I will get a reminder from my pharmacy. If I know that there are no more refills then I will contact my doctor to get more meds. I get 3 refills so I don't have to worry for another 3 months. It just makes it easier on me.

[@blondy2061h]

I used to take domperidone. I thankfully don't need it any more. It helped a lot with no side effects when I did need it. And I had awful side effects from reglan- headaches, crippling fatigue, and depression. I originally got my medication from a compouding pharmacy, which took a decent amount of time to drive to and was expensive. I then switched to a Canadian online pharmacy. I live right on the Canadian boarder and go there regularly, so I am not freaked out by Canada at all. I had taken the medication before, so I wasn't bothered by the medication. But I was freaked out by the prospect of ordering it online. There have been reports of pharmacies online claiming to be Canadian and registering domains in Canada, then actually shipping medications from elsewhere. One "Canadian" pharmacy I used shipped me a box of domperidone with Chinese letting on it (predominantly). You definitely need to be cautious when doing this. I wished I could have just driven to Canada, but I would have needed to becom established with a doctor in Canada to write the prescription, which wouldn't have been easy. The online pharmacies pay doctors to re-write the foreign prescriptions to get past that technicality.

My scripts get refilled on the 2nd of every month. My pharmacy doesn't usually let me do it before that date unless I'm going out of town. Doesn't make much sense since none are narcotics or sedatives. Idk maybe policy.

It's probably insurance. Mine only refills one or two weeks out because of that.

Stacy Holliday-White how did you get them all on the same day? that would be hard for me because it would be one large expensive bill at time, however much easier? may I ask how many meds are you on? I'm pin like 36 right now about 8 of those are vitamins. My daily IV'S are different I can be doing 1 up to 6 a day then doing my IVIG INFUSION every 3 weeks. If I could get my Rx groom the pharmacy on the dame month that would be a huge relief instead of having to go up there literally two to three times a week to pick up different medications.

I am actually on meds that are free at a certain pharmacy. I am only on two right now but might be on a third in August if my health doesn't improve.

I fill my cumblers ( yes I do speak Freylife) every Tuesday evening. And once a month, when I'm doing my finances I literally count the medicine day by day if I have enough for that month. If not I order new directly because it can sometimes take up to a week before a have them refilld.

MindYourFood Marleen Honcoop this is a great idea. I have recently wanted to get more of my medication on a 90-day rotation which I think would make things a whole lot easier. However when you're still in the process where you're having a change medication more often it does make it a little bit harder two predict what medications you may be on in a week let alone and a month period I really did like this idea about tying this to your monthly bill time or some other time you were sitting down to count things out great idea thank you!

Here in Norway the doctor can put your meds on "reit", so you can go 3-4 times and pick up what you need, without needing too contact anyone. And we have an app, where you write what your out of, the doctor approves it, and you can pick it up at the pharmacy later that day. Its so easy! :)
