@scruffy1 My doctor gave me dated prescriptions for 3 months at a time. At least the laws have changed so that he can send a prescription electronically now, so I no longer have to go to the doctor's office and pick up a hand written one and take it to the pharmacy. I get most of my medications from Humana Pharmacy mail order, which is really convenient, but I have to stay on top of refill dates and to send a message to the doctor to send in the monthly scrips. I got behind on one this week and I had to go to the local Rite Aid for a ten day supply to hold me over until the mail order 3 month scrip comes.

Pain certainly does exacerbate stress and depression, and vice versa. I know from my experience over the past 15 years. I had six appointments with a pain therapist who made some recommendations for living with and managing pain. I wasn't so sure about some of what she said, but I have been practicing a couple of things I learned from her.
