@kelliw, I don't know what to say to what you just shared! That has got to be the dumbest thing I have heard. There must be some scientific reasoning behind letting you go off for a month and see what happens. They must know something is going to happen. What if the something is BAD? Then what is their position?
Thank goodness your doctor is on your side, and not Big Pharma. Thank goodness he is willing to not only go to bat for you, but stand up to them as well. He deserves an award!
The last thing you need is more stress about this.
Hang in there. Praying for you that this gets resolved quickly and in the right way.
