For a 90 days supply it would cost me over $400 USD in the US. In Canada we can get it filled for about $40 USD so we choose to send that prescription to Canada. The problem with traveling and purchasing from Canada is we would need it shipped to the location we are residing and since it is a drug, the risk is it will be held up in customs. The particular drug from Canada was filled and shipped from London, England. Sooooo, we called the pharmacy and asked if it is being shipped from London, can we pick it up or have it shipped to a London address. After a few phone calls we were able to come to that resolution. We’ll still fill it as US Citizens but have it filled and shipped to London.

The ripple in the clouds. Is that not amazing?

While I was at the doctors office obtaining a prescription refill for the one controlled substance drug, which cost me about 45 pounds, I asked about the HRT drug and he called the pharmacy and they had what I needed so he gave me a 90 day prescription, actually 84 pills because thats how they are packaged here. When we talked to the chemist, I asked how much for the Premarin (HRT drug) and she said 9 pounds. I said for 90 days? Are you sure? She said yes and I’m like, really? She must have thought I was crazy. I told her I could probably buy 1 pill for that price in the US. If we bought the two drugs in the US before we left, the cost would have been $440 for 3 months (approximately). Here, it cost me $55 pounds/$69 USD plus 60 pounds/$75 USD for the doctor visit. $144 for 3 month supply vs. $440, not including the doctor visit. I’ll take it!

We took a short walk towards town but only walked a mile downhill because we had to walk a mile back up. The incline was pretty steep. My thighs were burning! But well worth it. We enjoyed the walk.
