A Day That Started in Stress, and Anxiety:

I’m out here on my walk to go pick up my youngest from preschool, pulled out Standard Notes feeling like there was something to write, but wasn’t quite sure what.

And then I get a call back from my endocrinologists nurse saying that a prescription was going to be available for me.

Now for most things and for most people, this is no big deal because most medication is something they have in stock.

Mine is a little bit more specialty.

It’s a special formulation and manufacturer of levothyroxine that I need to take because I had thyroid cancer about seven years ago and had most of my thyroid removed.

In all this time over all of these years, the medication has never been available immediately when I need it filled. It’s always required at least three days lead notice.

And today was my last dose of that medicine thinking that I had more when I actually didn’t.

This brought up a lot of a lot of stress and concerns, as my body doesn’t do well when I’m not consistently taking the medication.

I had prayed to God and asked for help today knowing when I’ll be able to receive the medication.

And God was there.

What makes this prescription so unavailable is that I’m one of the few people that order it, so they don’t keep it readily available.
