Frustrated with old Neuro/different headache

[bxrmom]

Lately, when I go to renew an rx on MyChart, my old Neuro will renew them, then my current Neuro will cancel and reorder them. Sunday, what really got me upset/confused was that I went to renew my Oxybutynin (urine leakage) on MyChart. Yesterday, I received a message from my OLD Neuro's office that I need to contact my family dr to fill this medication for some reason that I forget now. I replied back that my Neuro prescribes this medication for urine leakage related to my MS (it was my old Neuro that had first prescribed it so I think this was someone from his office). Within a couple of hours, the medication had been approved and is being refilled.

I swear that sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. The last time I had seen my old Neuro he said he was going to be working in the ER and that he would 'be around'.

I think that instead of renewing a prescription on MyChart, I'm going to call the rx phone number instead of chancing another misunderstanding like this. I had been on that mediation for almost a year now.

Other than this, I am doing good. I have been tired a lot lately and I don't know why. The other day I had the worst headache I have ever had. If I was laying down I was fine but if I was up walking around or even sitting, the pain on top of my head was horrible. From what I have found online this is called a positional headache, which I have never experienced before. Thankfully the headache was gone when I woke up.

Yes, sometimes it gets confusing. I’m glad your headache went away!

Thanks! I'm just glad they didn't make me have to go through my family dr after I had been receiving the prescription through my neuro. That would mean a dr's visit, explanation, confusion, etc.

I've had that problem after changing Drs. The pharmacy was always sending the refill to the old Dr. I finally had to make the pharmacy go thru all my meds make big notes as to who to send the to & that worked. Glad you're headache is gone.

I usually let my pharmacy request the refills if I need it before I have a visit with my neuro or other doctors. CVS always seems to be able to get it refilled and I don't have to deal with it 😁

My next appointment is not until June and I needed a new rx for the new insurance company (I get a 3 month supply of most meds at a time so the meds I have on hand will not last until June). This particular rx has not been filled with the new insurance company yet.

bxrmom, Sometimes it feels like you need a phD to keep up with all the screw up ɓetween the pharnacies and our doctors make especially with our medication. Keep your head up and hang in there because at least you're staying on top of things. As far as you being really tired that can be just simply be related to your MS. It wipes out a lot of us more than we would ever want to admit. Fancy59.

I figured its prob a combination of the MS and the cold weather.
