I also get my maintenance meds from Express Scripts. 20 years in the Army gets me that "privilege".

You earned it, thanks for your service!

Good Luck

Had to go through same thing to get mine. Took 2 months to get diabetic medications after I was diagnosed. They are sure speedy about collecting premiums, not so much on providing the service that you pay for

wasps and hornets and of course dare I mention killer bees , my mortal enemies , it is a very long story but the very first time I encountered the swarm sealed my fate .
glad you survived , you folks have what's known as bald faced hornets up that way , as a preteen I got to do an emergency room visit over them myself .
it has been told to me that if you get swarmed in your early years you will likely be allergic to them after puberty . my first swarming was when I was around 5 .
you were almost a statistic my friend , be careful out there , glad you lived to tell

Same situation here. They had built under a rotten root from a previous tree removal. Hit ‘Em at 5 in the Am with the foaming killer. Filled up that entrance and even with that they had early pickets out on duty that tried to get back in the nest. Sayonara to those bad boys. They are nothing to fool with and with those number of stings you were loaded up. Glad you got the medical attention you needed and fast.

They can be such morons. An EPI pen is a lot cheaper than the route you had to take to save your life!

here we have yellow jackets that like Dr. Pepper , ever seen someone drink a yella jacket before ?
they will light up your day in that mode for sure ....
not me ,but I seen it done a few times...
sure makes folks move really fast when they drink one, typically dance like wild natives doing a rain dance
note this : it is only funny if you ain't the one drinking them
