Waiting, and hoping.

ghoulsisI just took a Zofran to help with the nausea. I just couldn't deal with it anymore. So down the hatch the little yellowish-orange pill went. I hope it helps. I've felt so bad the last few days I've gotten panicky. It's so hard to eat. I lost another two pounds, for a total of at least six since I got pregnant. (Yet my regular clothes no longer fit. Weird.)
I think desperation is the operative word here. I felt like I was starving and couldn't eat anything because everything makes me want to puke. The almost-throwing-up feeling has stuck with me morning noon and night... and over the last week it's gotten worse every single day. Today I just reached the breaking point. I can't do this anymore.
So off to the pharmacy I went, knowing that most insurance doesn't cover Zofran during pregnancy. The latest estimate I heard was $27. Mind you, that's per pill. But I was willing to pay it. Whatever it takes to make this feeling go away.
I got to the window, and she told me, "Fifteen dollars."
Total, complete shock. They covered it? Really?
I checked the label. For ten pills, I paid $15. Insurance paid in excess of $300.
So, here we go... time to find out if I can tolerate it. I hope so. I'm just glad it's not costing me three hundred bucks to find out.
