Lost my meds during a trip

I’m in a different state commiserating with family over the death of my grandma before the funeral and my meds were accidentally thrown away - I guess we’re all kind of in a daze and doing things without thinking.

I called my pharmacy and they said they’d get in touch with my doctor in order to get some refills but the request was denied, I’m assuming because they’d just been refilled probably not a week before I lost them.

I can’t get in touch with my doctor because her clinic is closed and I don’t have any personal contact info for her.

I guess I could get emergency refills of like two or three pills of each med while I get this sorted out? This is more venting than anything else I guess. I normally wouldn’t be so frustrated but this added to everything else going on is kind of sending me over the edge.

Thanks for reading.

Normally if the pharmacy will call your insurance you may be able to get like a vacation override or a lost meds early refill. I know that some insurances do them. I used to work for one and would give pharmacies override codes all day.

Ohh, thanks! :open_mouth:
I hope and pray my insurance will do that if I beg hard enough lol.

Luckily I’m going home tonight. Should get things sorted out tomorrow.

Oh man. I do understand that though, not wanting to snitch on a family member.

I would be in an emergency room and let them figure it out. I can’t not take my meds.

If I am at home I have a whole gym bag full of extra meds though.

That’s a great idea to keep extra meds around.

Welp, my meds were recovered. What happened was I brought them to the hospice house not knowing how long we’d be there and when they went missing I’d assumed they’d been thrown away since I stupidly had them in a plastic grocery bag. I guess they weren’t thrown away after all but rather brought by someone else to my grandparents’ house as that’s where they were found. Everyone probably thinks I’m crazy now but I’m just glad there was a happy ending to this pitiful story. Well, more like bittersweet since they were found long after I left. I guess I can last without them until we travel back there on Friday.

Glad you found your meds. Luckily the residual meds stay in us depleting on a bell curve, if that makes sense,
