17. I'm up to 16 scripts, but only 10 are pills.

Feb 2014

The rest are for my asthma -- Advair, Pressair, albuterol inhaler, albuterol nebulizer, epi-pen (if I can't get to the ER in time and my lungs completely close), and the newest -- Nicotrol! Yeah! (I've been quit but having severe cravings, and this way I can cut myself back and not deal with the agitation that comes with patches).

Of course, all of these are on hold for prior authorizations for Medicaid except the inhaler, along with most of my pills. But I'm not complaining!
