No kidding ... I remember when he first hit SB (before his blog). Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
GC is in the same boat you are. Here's what I did: Mark the calendar for 25 days AFTER you refill your Rx. Then call and refill it on that 25th day, instead of waiting til the end of the month. Then mark your calendar for 25 days later again, not the typical 30 days. It took me a while but last time I inventoried his meds he had several months worth of medication put back.
i told my doc, i was gonna be away for a month and needed an extra month of meds just in case. Got 2 months supply, no problem.
