I had trouble accessing food/other resources that were "Drive Up Only" especially since my disability reduces my ability to drive and also I couldn't get my anti-seizure meds since they are a controlled category and I had to "ration my meds" and sometimes go without. My pharmacy told me that current NYS Laws say we can only get some of these meds filled early a certain times in our life so if we go on a vacation or have an emergency then we are out of luck.
