I've been married for 14 years, have a kid and everything, and here we are with condoms like we're high school students. But honestly, it's worth it to preserve my mental health. My insurance demanded that I get one 30-day set of pills every month; my pharmacy never could dish out more than one month's worth. It was so aggravating having to trudge to the Walgreens every month. So I started getting those one-period-every-three-months pill just to dodge that. Finally it all became too much and I'm Rubber Lady now. Getting birth control pills used to drive me nuts until I finally gave up and went back to condoms.

This after my mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer, following the loss of my grandmother from lymphoma cancer as well. The medical community is nothing, but a cold hearted business. It's a shame.

I had to practically climb on a receptionist's table and pee on her desk before she conceded it might be okay to let me go ahead and give a urine culture before the order was faxed to her office since she knew it was coming, I live out of town, and I have a fourth a kidney and couldn't risk it for bureaucracy...full story in my december posting....dang....

He doesn't seem to get that if he keeps trying to force me to come in for a visit (and therefore increase his paycheck) that I will just find another doctor. One that hands out prescriptions left, right and centre! I had to convince my doctor to give me 6 months instead of the 3 he originally wanted to.
