Hi Carrie,talk to your doctor and see if his/her drug rep can help you in some way.I am kind of in the same position you are in, my insurance is giving me the run around about whether they are going to pay for my shots or not so my doctor talked to her drug rep and he reviewed my file and seen that I really needed the lupron I have endo pretty bad and he was able to get me a few shots till my insurance decides what they are going to do.My doctor and her nurse really worked on this for me because they knew I really need these shots and couldn't afford to pay for them myself.So talk to your doctor about it and see if their drug rep can help you.Good luck,Breanna
