One Reason Meds Cost as Much As They Do
Ok, I went to a new gynecologist--I fired the old one because he wasn't really my old one, he just took over the practice of my old one who retired, because his office screwed me over twice on appointments--and she changed my meds. She decided my estradiol dosage was too high, and when I told her I'd been given that dosage by my previous doctor (the one who'd retired) because I'd been complaining of fragile tissues, she prescribed Vagifem, which is topical. I'd sort of assumed that it was a cream or gel, but it's a little tablet, about the same size as the progesterone that she also doesn't want me to take anymore. I'm supposed to start by taking one every night for 2 weeks, and thereafter take them, like every other night. What got me though, was that EACH TABLET comes in this little blue applicator thingie with a plunger, so as to shoot the thing as far up the passage as possible. And each applicator comes in little sheets of blister packing, plastic, of course. WE ARE DROWNING IN PLASTIC, PEEPS. PLASTIC EVERYDAMNWHERE. PLASTIC IN THE LANDFILLS, PLASTIC IN THE RIVERS, PLASTIC IN THE SEA. Now, I think in some respects plastic is a very good thing. I certainly would not want to return to the days of glass milk bottles and glass shampoo bottles. But this applicator seems silly. Do you think it's really necessary? Can it be that they package the tablets this way because some women are still squeamish about sticking a finger up their own vaginas?
