Wow. That’s great. Question: does your PCP plan to continue prescribing it for you? I’m not sure mine will, after my first month is over, since he doesn’t have any reference data for continual use. The Journavx website does mention “3 months” as acute pain, which sounds like a sneaky way to approve a 3 month prescription. But I’m afraid I won’t be able to get more, after I get used to the relief.
I’m filling mine one week at a time, since insurance won’t cover it for off-label use. That’s a whole other topic. I am in talks with Aetna. So one month was $933 with discount coupons. I’m on Medicare, so can’t normally use discounts, but since I’m paying out of pocket, I can. Anyway, I’m basically hoarding it right now. I’m going on a big trip and want to take it twice a day during the trip, and have some left over for recovering when I get home. After that, I don’t know who will prescribe more for me.
So the pain relief is here, sitting in a bottle, but I’m not taking it!
