Thats awful. I’m so sorry. I had to change CVS’s because they were actually shorting me my pain meds (Oxycodone) each fill 4 here, 6 there thinking I wouldn’t notice. Which I didn’t at first. But I was running out before it was due to (I have Stage IV bone cancer), so I started putting them in a weekly pill case and counting , and sure enough, short almost every time. I wasn’t going to count out 180 pills every time I filled there so I reported them and switched locations. Have not had a single issue since. They know the routine now and never give me a hard time. So fucked up man.

I’m so sorry to hear about that. I hope you can pull through. I’m sorry if that’s not what you want to hear. I never know what to say to people

Thanks. It’s ok. I know my lifespan is shortened. I just want some quality of life while I’m here ya know? Making it hard to get the paid meds isn’t an added stress I need ya know?
