Allergies can be frustrating!  I should know; I get them too.  Allergy season is just beginning
for those of us in Wisconsin, but it is in full swing in other parts of the country.

I would like to share the following story with you because it truly shows the power to help manage our health that each of us can have:

I received a phone call the other day from a woman in Florida who was looking for a participating physician in her area who writes allergy drop prescriptions with our pharmacy.  The reason she called was because even with her insurance company's co-payments for allergy shots, they were still costing her a lot of money. She decided therefore to look for a different option to treat her allergies.  Following our talk, she visited our website and in the "For Patients" section, down-loaded the appropriate forms and gave them her allergist.  I got a phone call today from her allergist requesting directions on how to get this patient started on allergy drops.  I'm happy to see that her doctor was so responsive to her needs and was willing to take the time to call us for more information.

This woman took a pro-active first step towards fully participating in the management of her health.
