BUDESONIDE vs METHOTREXATE

I don't post often at all so forgive if the story doesn't feel fully fleshed out or written with a ton of experience. Let me know in comments some constructive criticism to improve future posts. I'm planning on posting more stories from work like this. This happened right after I started my shift th

I caught my PBM doing some really shitty things this year... last year it was a suspicion, this year I caught them stealing from the cookie jar. When I shared what happened with my family and friends the majority had never even heard of them! So I’m going to share here where people get it. I hit my

In the last couple weeks I've had a) an over inflated DB who grumpled at me at the window about how he can’t hear me on a windy day, being ID’ed for a controlled substance, and came in to complain about ‘the worst ComeVisitSatan experience he’s ever had and b) another entitled dude who was parked wa

So, two days ago on my shift, a doctor sent in a prescription for a patient for Budesonide nebulizer solution.

Edit #3: I passed out today on my apartment steps out of absolutely the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life and someone saw me and called an ambulance. I finally got a diagnosis in the emergency room after bawling my eyes out of frustration at this entire situation and they found out I have a corona

This is going to be so, so, so long and I’m so sorry. But we don’t know what else to do. I’ve tried to compress it the best I could. 3f with medical mystery. First year of life: -couldn’t latch until 2 months old -refused all food, in all forms. -up every 20 minutes every single night, wouldn’t

Hey /r/pharmacy I'm a mod over on the /r/lupus sub and we got our [first report](https://www.reddit.com/r/lupus/comments/vt9owi/denied_my_methotrexate/) from a from an established user of the sub saying their methotrexate prescription has been denied due to the recent overturning of roe. This has [b

I've been dancing my heart out for the last couple days. In public. I don't know why I'm just happy to be alive and moving and I don't even need music. It is honestly so abnormal for me to be dancing that I figured I should ask here? Nothing bad comes from the urge to dance in public yeah? F19 5'4 1

F23 just ran a 10k. For reference I use to be a big runner so I have pride but haven't ran in a few months so no foundation. Absolutely killed myself to PR today. The race was brutal with cramping in my legs and lower back. I have probably ran hundreds of races. NEVER before have I gotten so immedi

Typing this from a hospital bed, actually! I will try to provide how this affects me both physically and mentally, and my st
