Dude, that's awesome. I haven't even lost the bug I caught on the flight back from San Fran yet.

Never mind the hurdles that we have to jump over in order to receive treatment. Random drug testing, pharmacy contracts, regular CT scans, X-Rays, etc. ... even though nothing ever changes for us. It's all so the doctors can cover their asses in case the DEA audits them.

It's gotten to the point where you can't even mention a drug by name. I have migraines (among other things) and occasionally I get aura migraines where I need to get a shot to make it stop. They can't give it to me in an epi-pen, it's a controlled substance and I can only get it by seeing a neurologist or going to the ER. Last time I needed it I asked for it by name which I guess is a huge red flag, it wound up taking me 8 hours to get what i needed and get out of there.
I used to have a morphine nasal inhaler for it back in the day. I can understand why they had go take that off the market, but for those who REALLY need it they never came out with an at home replacement.
