Well, that's one way to make these less horrible!

I've mentioned in a few threads that I have a hard time, psychologically, using rectal meds (enemas, specifically--haven't used supps). I can't figure out why, since they're easy to use, they're effective, and they honestly don't cause a lot of physical discomfort. And now that my partner is in charge of picking them up from the pharmacy, I don't even have to deal with THAT inconvenience anymore.

But I still feel emotionally GROSS when I have to take them!

Anyway, I've been on hydrocortisone enemas for a couple weeks now, and I called the pharmacy earlier this week to refill the prescription. I must have gotten someone really new on the phone, since he didn't CHECK to see if the prescription was for a 14-day supply before telling me, "Well, it looks like you only filled the prescription two weeks ago so I don't think your insurance will cover it." Good job there, newbie.

HOWEVER ... when I called, I was at work, so I just said I needed to refill the prescription for "hydrocortisone," which prompted him to ask, "Ah, you mean, the uh-NEE-mahs?"

uh-NEE-mah.

So now when it's time to take my meds, I tell my partner, "Time for my uh-NEE-mah!" Ahahahaha.
