hard to stay sanguine after news like this

How deliciously vein.

If you're uninsured or don't have prescription drug coverage, 10 days of Lovenox will run you over $1,000. It's kind something you need to live after you get out of the hospital with a pulmonary embolism.

The drug industry sucks.

I just got out pf the hospital from a 36 inch clot after knee surgery complications. Even with insurance the Lumonox/warfarin is about $250 a week until I can achieve therapeutic levels of the rat poison and quit the injections twice a day.

Lovenox, not Lumanox.

You know what will help? Get your ass out of the hospital bed and move. My last hospitalisation was for ileitis I was supposed to stay in bed with compression stockings, hell to the no. I kept moving, pain and all.

I shoot Lovenox. Pricey co-pay, but it works when Coumadin doesn't. I'm practically immune to the generic Warfarin, which would be the cheapest way to go. Impossible for me to maintain consistent INRs on Warfarin. And I'm on this crap forever because I have an aortic valve replacement.

Wish I knew how easy it was to shoot up back in the days when I was sniffing heroin. I was afraid of needles then. Now I don't even bother lifting my shirt. I just spread it a little and jab.
