Filled 2 prescriptions after getting out of urgent care. For 2 epi pens


and 4 small steroid pills. My instructions for the epi pen are "if you get stung again, take a benadryl. Don't just plunge this into your thigh right away. If and when you start to have ANY issue breathing, THEN stick it in your thigh."

And to make this a stupid insurance story as well, when the prescription was called in, my insurance (automatically, I'd presume) said "You can't use THAT brand. You must use THIS brand."

Except that I still have a LOT left on my deductible, so whatever I get at the pharmacy is going to be me paying. The brand the insurance company insisted on would have cost me about $300 for 2 epis. The pharmacist just filled the cheaper version which cost me about $100.
