    pain in the ass though, since i waited almost an hour at the drug store, for them to tell me it wasnt covered and made me look like an azzzhole in front of some people there.
    You know when I took my script for the cyp and syringes they acted like I was doing something wrong. The first CVS didnt' have the syringes put they had the cyp so I said I would go to the other one their computer said they had it all.

    When I get to the other one they have the syringes but no cyp. So I say give me the syringes and I would pick up the cyp at the other location.

    The lady says why would you want to do that and acted like I just pissed all over her. So I explain I want to pick them both up now, she is still being obnoxious and when she finds out my insurance wont cover the syringes she wouldn't even sell them to me.

    Like she was just going to ruin my day well she didn't now I had 100 or more at the house. But what is the deal they all acted like I was doing something wrong.

    The kicker was the doc forgot to put his dea# on the script when they realize this they really went berserk.

    I get mine at CVS, this is wrong. They are like $3 buck for several months supply for syringes. My goodness do you even need a script for them?

    They gave me a hard time too, when I told them I would pay for cyp out of pocket.

    I honestly don't know, I went to pick up the syringes today from CVS they ordered for me. Well when I get to the car and look at my receipt I realize they didn't charge me for them so I check the box.

    When I open the box I see they are just needles no syringes. Make a long story short when I take them back they said oops and then tell me they can't get the 23g 1" 1cc syringes. WTF

    They say they can get 23g 1" 3cc... Fine I say. Then the problem is they have to talk to my Dr before they will give me those, well my Dr has been closed since the hurricane down here.

    Then they say they have 30g 1" 1cc syringes in stock they will sell me...Now I start to lose my patience they wont order me the 3cc without talking to my dr. but they will sell me the 30g I can't use without talking to my Dr.

    They won't give me any reasonable explanation for this so I made them give me my script back. Now I just have to find a pharmacy that has these.

    The funny part is the cyp and syringes are on the same sheet and they gave them both back to me and didn't stamp or mark that the cyp had been filled. Not that I would want any extra cyp or anything.

    I had a similar problem with my doctors nurse a few days ago...i called to ask for a ** for 23guage 1 1/2 3cc syringe because i have never seen a 1cc syringe for that size needle...the nurse had me on the phone for 15 min. asking all kinds of ?'s and even called cvs pharmacy and then called me back and said they have just what you need 23 guage 1 1/2 1cc syringes...when i get there, i look into the bag and 23guage 1 1/2 3cc ! I about fell on the floor laughing. All that effort the nurse put in to make sure i wouldnt get 3cc syringes...like i'm going to do 600mg of test
