Don’t Take Insurance Coverage for Granted… For the sake of conversation, let’s say you have developed a chronic illness. Let’s use Fibromyalgia for example.

We begin this Fibro Tale two years ago this month… Looking back to the beginning of my fibro tale. I don’t believe pharmacy was necessarily the wrong choice for me at the time.
