Sticker Shock


This morning after work, I made my return trip to see Dr. Flynn about the issues I've been having lately. Based on the moderate success I've been having with the Albuterol inhaler, he decided to prescribe an inhaler that had a more long lasting effect. Albuterol is more of an "emergency" inhaler, that is really only used when one is having serious breathing problems. He wanted me to try something that was more of a daily medication, while still having the Albuterol when I'm feeling bad. When I went to pick this inhaler up, my complete lack of prescription drug insurance really hit me hard. I was stunned when the pharmacist told me the total of $133.00. What can you do? I had to pay for it. Hopefully this expensive little bottle of powder will do the trick.
