My friend @DavidGoldfield is gonna commence to laughing with me today. As he may recall that when I was last with #CVSCaremark mail order pharmacy I wanted to be rid of their #Braille labels because I wanted smaller bottles. Then I left them and now that i'm back I have #ScripTalk but no Braille labels and turns out their regular bottles aren't a huge amount smaller than the bottles needed when there are Braille labels. So now guess who has decided they want Braille labels back. Yup that'd be me. #IWantBraille along with my #ScripTalk and so I'm on hold while the senior team executes my request now. #Here'sToBraille. Funny how preferences change.

@DavidGoldfield is gonna laugh at my brand of crazy tonight. I must explain for those that do not know. During my first go around with #CaremarkPharmacy I complained that getting both #ScripTalk labels and #Braile labels resulted in medications coming in huge bottles likened to those in which vitamins come because these people are serious about their braille. You don't just get the name of the medicine; you get all and I mean all of the related info which mirrors the ScripTalk label. I left the pharmacy and now have returned due to a new insurer and was getting scripTalk only. And these bottles at least the first prescription filling came in ziplock bags with the braille label with medication info on the Ziplock bag. However, my second refill did not feature braille on the bag. Now back to the bottles themselves. Their regular size bottles are still tall enough that my wee fingers can't reach the bottom of the bottle to get the last tablet out without tilting the bottle anyway. So now I toy with getting the Braille back on the bottle but haven't quite committed to it fully yet. Told ya it's a unique brand of crazy pondering tonight.

So, when last I was under the auspices of the #Caremark pharmacy I never ever could get them to give me #ScripTalk labels without #Braille. Guess that's gonna hold true this time around also. It's annoying but I guess not the worst issue to have on the earth. Now if they'd just ship out my prescriptions that it's taken 2 and a half weeks to get straightened out that'd just be dandy.

Do any of my #Blind friends who use #ScripTalk get their prescriptions through #ExpressScripts mail order? If so tell me about the experience please. It appears I may have to switch to them due to switching prescription plans.

Well my saga with #CVSCaremark continues. When I first signed up to get prescriptions with them I selected #ScripTalk and #Braille thinking that it'd consist of the ScripTalk sticker on the bottom of a normal size medicine bottle and just the name of the medication in #Braille on that same bottle as other pharmacies had done in the past. That's not how they do things here. Rather, you get everything printed on the bottle in #Braille necessitating that your medicine comes in a vitamin size bottle. I contacted and then asked if I could continue to receive the drug identification sheets in #Braille and just have #ScripTalk on the bottles themselves. No problem they said. However, that seems impossible for them to achieve. I'm starting to believe the only way to get normal medicine bottles is to forego #Braille entirely and just get #ScripTalk only. I'll call them tomorrow during regular business hours in hopes of getting a supervisor.

This is one instance when organizations for the #Blind like #AmericanCouncilOfTheBlind might have made things worse not better. Why'd they push so hard for #CVS to develop their own #AccessiblePrescriptions rather than using #ScripTalk which already existed and is much more straightforward in my humble opinion to use. Ok I'll be quiet now.

Seriously someone is atempting to sell a #ScripTalk machine for like $100 or there abouts when these devices are provided free of charge from Envision America when one is being serviced by a pharmacy that participates. Something about this just seems wrong to me.
