This is the solution that most people come up with first (including myself, the doctor, the pharmacists). It won’t work and here is why:
Another way to rephrase the situation is: every 35 days, I’m allowed to buy 30 days of mediation for her. So if I somehow acquired an extra 5 days worth, it would only solve the problem for 1 month. We tried skipping her Saturday doses, but missing a day(s) puts her in a tailspin that takes an extra day to recover from. So ironically: having her reserve a pill once in a while, causes more damage than just having her skip 5 in a row. The difference is if she skips 5 in a row, she is basically useless for 6 days a month. When we resereve3d them on Saturday, she was useless 10 days a month.
But yes, we occasionally will manipulate her supply more or less like you suggested, to ensure her “dead week” doesn’t fall on important dates. Of course, the advantage of spreading them out is I would get to report myself 5 times a month to CPS, instead of once a month. Doesn’t really matter. After they sent investigator to the house the 2nd time, they started ignoring my reports.
It is incredibly frustrating to watch her life crash, over and over again, for want to medication that costs about $0.10 a day; that we can’t legally buy, at any price!
On a tangent topic: does that sound like capitalism/free markets to anyone?
