Who Else Became Terribly Depressed With Chronic Pain?

My Pain Psychologist gave me these regarding good sleep habits so I thought I would share them with you too :
I do hope my sleep issues don't get that bad. I get sleep but just not enough and not all night. Hoping it is temporary due to shoulder surgery.
Insurance Denied My Meds, What’s A Los Cost Pharmacy?
Great news guys! I found a doctor, unfortunately my insurance denied my meds (Oxy 15mg 90tab), so I am going to have to pay out of pocket. I am totally fine with that, but as I mentioned before I’ve been out of work for a year.. which chain pharmacy is cheap as of now cvs is at 48 after a 50$ coupon . Rite aid is at 198.
