Too bad you can't get into some study group.
I can't remember what drug it was, but on another forum I'm a member of there's a Australian member who had to jump through a few hoops to get a med that wasn't made or approved over there - she had to get her medicine from the US. There may be a way around it if you must have it, as in potentially life threatening.
Two month wait for blood tests? Considering what tests you need that seems like an awful long time to wait. Guess I'm spoiled from getting tests done soon and/or if I request them.

Good news, everyone! The regular B-12 has taken away the hurt-ache in my hands and feet and I am now able to hold a cup of coffee for longer than two minutes before having to rest my hand.
Whether it helps "fix" my red blood cells, we will see in January when I have the tests done. But I am encouraged!
Bruce, Sharky, Carol, and Sarah: Your offer to help has touched me very deeply. I don't really have the words...
Your kindness will not be forgotten.
(We'll see in January if this B-12 is doing the job or not. I'd also need to find out it's even possible to do that.)
I just don't know if a pharmacy would fill a prescription from a foreign doctor, I'll have to look into that.
The reason we are waiting two months to test is because it takes that long for the B-12 to work if it is going to work.
p.s. My physiotherapist yesterday said that my back was in spams and I was instructed to rest and keep it warm the rest of the day. I felt something going on back there but with all the other pain I didn't really notice very much, lol. But that's a subject for another thread!

There's no bridge, so to get to Seattle is a minimum of 4 hours (realistically about 6 hours) by ferry, if you include waits and the drive, and it's not cheap but if we had to, that is an option.

I was in a study group in Austin 25 years ago and that's how my anemia was diagnosed, so I believe in study groups!

Thank you everyone for the kind words and well-wishes!Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
That's what I was thinking -- can't one of us get it for you and mail it up there? You know you have lots of willing friends here...

I'm glad to hear something has helped! I hope it keeps helping too!!
