Guinevere, after they give you the rush.
I'd thought to suggest you have them expedite your request. Your doctor may have to do some research. After, the office will have to get insurance approval. It can take some time expecially if the insurance doesn't want to approve and they have to appeal. Still, your request should have generated a response. I suspect they were surprised, probably expecting you to resist.
Excellent choice, Tymlos.
I especially like that you left the re message this morning.

@guinivere hope you can do Tymlos!!!!
Your description of where you live makes me want to visit!

Basically I did resist. She wanted me to start with Fosomax & then at some point to Prolia. I am ok with Prolia after something else but it can't be anything that has the gastro/esophageal effects that Fosomax has as I am already on a special (but mild) diet re the state of my esophagus after an examination of same several years ago.

I did hear from the Medical Assistance Office at the hospital with some questions that I was able to answer from my 1040 tax form. The % of assistance being requested was presumably calculated from that & presumably relayed to my insurance company. I was told the whole process will take about 45 days!
