I just spoke on the phone with Dr. Check in Philadelphia on a phone consultation (due to Coronavirus). He has told all his patients not to fill there prescriptions in New Jersey. Some of you are able to fill them in New Jersey and all prescriptions from here on will have on them, only to fill in Philadelphia. He was called before The Assistant Deputy General of New Jersey and he appeared with a lawyer. He does not want to lose his medical license. He predominantly does Invitro Fertilization. As an endocrinologist, and a doctor who has researched this disorder, he treats many with Increased Cellular Permeability Disorder. It cost him a LOT of money for the lawyer and he wants to help us but we must comply with filling the scripts only in Philadelphia. Depending where you live, some states can have their scripts filled in Philly and then mailed to them. That is what I do. So, if you are living in New Jersey, please do not fill them here even if a pharmacist agrees to do it in NJ. We will all lose our medication. Don't make me sorry for having this site if you are not going to comply with what needs to be done. Thank you for your continued cooperation so we can remain being treated. Convenience now is not an excuse. It is what it is.

I am glad that you are all well. Tired of the constant daily rain and neck pain. Started steroid pack yesterday so should feel better soon. Bill's Dad still ventures out to store even though we and other family members shop for them. Same situation here. Role reversal. Trying to keep parents at home and make sure they are safe. LOL. It is a scary time for sure. I was in a month prior to all this not feeling well with constant dry cough. Then I got the flu (they tested me for flu but not corona). We may have had Corona but I still think it was allergies as weather so unstable since October. I am painting rock mandalas and reading but it is getting boring. It could be worse. We could be living in a hut in Africa without running water or toilet facilities and being told we should stay home. How crazy is that. Those two things are not optional. Bought a new car and that was easy and fun as it was delivered to the door and we all had masks, gloves. Found just what we wanted so that was great. Now just waiting to hear from pharmacy with prescription saying once a day so insurance will not reject it. Fun times. Stay well and we will be in touch.
Yes, I know it has been tough for him. His money is not made from us but from his Invitro Fertilization. While it may be tempting to fill it in New Jersey when a pharmacist is willing it has hurt Dr. Check. The scripts will now say only can be filled in Philadelphia or in your case Kathy, Nevada. I am waiting to see if I can get the Vyvanse 20mg a day filled without any rejection from my insurance company. It had been prescribed as Vyvanse 10mg three times a day. When the script is written for several times a day, they often reject it when you need a prior authorization (per Dr. Check). Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope you are well. Will let you know how it goes. I have only been taking 10mg a day so I didn't run out and it didn't help lately with the crazy weather and retaining fluid. Things finally turning around now. That fluid sits on my herniated discs and keeps putting me in a pain cycle. Tired of seeing the chiropractor to get my discs back into alignment. Better days are coming, it says so in fine print. ;-)
E! Oh my gosh! I’m devastated for him to have to go through this when he’s been so kind to help. Thank you for sharing & I’ll be praying this will not impact his medical license. Folks, please comply. Philly may be inconvenient, yet flying into Philly from California (under normal circumstances) is a bit more out of the way.
