@julbpat I too have been helped by Journavx; I take 2 in the AM & I can do my regular life; without it I’m never sure if I can walk 4 houses down or not. I got 30 pills for $30 with the coupon; then it took 3 tries to get approval for 16 more pills for $112. I’m saving them for my next vacation; so, I can enjoy myself. Because it’s for acute pain only, I can’t get anymore. I will pay the $1,000 for more pills!

@sue4 the coupon is good for 60 pills, which is a one month supply of two per day, so you are owed more! I never thought of taking them both at the same time. That 100 mg dose certainly would help, but then I would have to wait 24 hours for more! A dilemma either way.
I had a very satisfying chat with the Vertex Pharmaceuticals support line. It’s called Journavx Plus You Patient Support. 1-833-589-7246. 8am-11pm ET. You can also submit your information online. You have a good story to share - it helps you have a better life, and you’re struggling to get it. They need and want to hear this.
My first hurdle was getting one of my doctors to prescribe it for ongoing use. My PCP and I have an understanding that I will take it as prescribed (100 mg/day) and he can do any lab work he needs to check for possible complications (which we’re not expecting). My second hurdle is finances. I’m telling everyone that will listen that I have spent $3,250.59 so far on a couple of credit cards. And I won’t stop, because when I feel that pain returning, I can’t stand the thought of going back to that. I can’t believe I’m going in debt for a safe and effective non-opioid pain solution.
