Hi,
I just wanted to post some recent events for me. Some of you may know that I totally bombed out with my PCP/GP for a prescription for naltrexone.
Next, I tried to reconnect with an addiction psychiatrist who had treated me in the past, but who did not return my calls. TODAY, she called me and agreed to see me. In the past, she prescribed naltrexone and I am HOPEFUL that she will agree to do so again (keep fingers crossed, please, for me).
As well, when I got home after a long day with my 97 year old father, there was a notice in the mail that my package (presumably from an online pharmacy) had arrived. Tomorrow, I plan to pick it up and (if I am right about the contents) begin my program with TSM.
I feel like I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I know that tunnel will be a long and rocky one for me (given my long-term, heavy drinking) but I am so, so grateful to be beginning (an so is my wonderful, devoted husband).
Maybe others of you have gone through the anxiety that I have the last few weeks worrying about how to get naltrexone, afford it, and deal with insurance companies (if any). Let's hope that in the future it is not so challenging for others and that our experiences help pave the path for easier help for others like us.
Peace, Sante
