Between cvs and humana I am unable to obtain my jardiance medicine. It's too expensive: $500 for a 30 day supply. Never mind the fact that I need it for my heart. I have exhausted all avenues. It would take Elon Musk or Trump to intervene to make it possible. So, I will not go that route, okay? It doesn't look like I can get it anymore. So, this is the beginning of my end. The protection that it gave me will wear off me this morning, so I am prepared for a heart attack and going. I made it this far huh? Thank you all for allowing me to have been here at the end. I will see you all on the other side - for those that make it.

The other side?
Like most rationalists, I don't believe in anything after this place. If I did, I suspect I'd be going the other way, but then so are most of my friends and relatives. All of whom think that religion is a con trick which brings false hope to the delusional. But I wish you the best and thank you for your efforts on behalf of BC.

If that really is the end of that road
Then please take my love with you, and know that you will be missed, and remembered by some few at least.

Thank you for all that you have done here. If you are unable to be here again, know that you have left a Sephrena shaped hole in many hearts.

"Lately it occurs to me..
what a long strange trip its been."
I dont want you to go.
I wish I could help you pay for the meds.
Availability or ability to pay
If it is the former then there is not much that can be done.
If it is the latter, maybe a gofundme ?
Did you demand that Humana
Did you demand that Humana have an actual doctor review the refusal? That is required if requested. They don't _tell_ you, but its there. (This was from my family doctor)
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
My heart Doctor Prescribed it
But Humana doesn't cover it. SO yeah, it is in a whole different world for me. It works with the heart medications in a way that helps me. It does not provide that help alone.
Insurance
Have you looked at switching insurance.
hugs :)

Have you looked at assistance programs?
Here's a search on Jardiance coupon https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jardiance+coupon&t=newext&atb=v348...
and here's one that looks promising. https://blog.needymeds.org/2024/12/18/struggling-with-jardia...

I'm so sorry to hear that!
That sounds terrifying and frustrating, Sephrena...I'm so sorry to hear you're having to go through all that! Hopefully better options for finding the drug or an alternative will make themselves available, but I know that's often difficult. I hope things improve for you!
Drug manufacturers
Drug manufacturers often have availability programs for patients who can't afford their product. Also, there is often a decent cheaper alternate drug.

contact your doctor
They may have samples or coupons. Also, they may be able to prescribe alternative medication.
Sephrena Lynn Miller, you are special and valued here
I hope one of the suggestions others gave helps.
My sister has asthma but luckily her meds are covered by her work health plan.
Chronic illness sucks. I consider myself lucky that I am mostly healthy at 67.
Best of luck.
BigCloset would not be the success it is without volunteers like you.

Don't give up!
Have you tried GoodRx? For some meds they get pretty cheap. Also, is there a generic available? And sometimes the drug company will provide it for free if you can't pay.

generic
I looked it up. Unfortunately, the current patent won't run out until 2034.

An Alternative??
Is Brenzavvy (Bexagliflozin) any good? If it is it's much cheaper.
Even though we've only been
Even though we've only been friends for a short while, know that every word we've exchanged has been treasured more than any jewels or gold.
Many love and much hugs

Well my parents said that they
will assist me monday trying to straighten out this mess. Hopefully, I can get the meds too. *praying*

Keep Going.
Right now means right now.
The next bit of food you reach for -
if it's an animal food - chicken, steak, bacon, fish or from an animal butter, cheese, eggs.
If it has animal bits in it -
Stop.
Throw it away.
It's what's clogging you up.
Any veggies, every veggie - go for it (unless it's been fried, like (usa) potato chips, then no).
Except that everyone is
Except that everyone is different. Some people can eat fatty foods and NOT have those issues at all. Others can be full vegetarian, and have 80% blockage.

Jardiance
I know this is about what everyone else said. They prescribed that for me after I had a heart attack a few months ago. My first month was $414 but the ones after were $152. There is a card available if you qualify that knocks it down to $10 a month. Talk your doctor and nurses and see if you can get it.
