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.

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 💖

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.
@maggiejean54037 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

You're a third of the way to the second hundred thousand subs, y'all! :)
@2Blessed7 жыл бұрын
That's what they said - second hundred thousand is the same as two!
@2listening17 жыл бұрын
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! ;)

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.

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! :)
