Hi, I am currently taking a very expensive medication that I receive at an independent infusion center. The cost of the medication is extremely high and in one infusion I am getting over $60,000 worth of medication.
The reason I am writing this is that for the first 3 infusions the side effects were constant including 1 particular thing is that I would spit for at least 24 hours after receiving the drug, the other main symptom is leg cramps that are insanely painful.
I do not spit so to do so is not normal for me but every time I have received the drug I have been spitting, why I mention this, my last infusion the bag looked different meaning the amount of fluid and the color, as well as the rate of drip?
You can taste the drug in your mouth during an infusion and I couldn’t taste it at all this time, plus I didn’t feel the need to spit after the infusion and finally I haven’t had the leg cramps.
I totally am convinced that I wasn’t given the full amount of medication I was supposed to get, and seeing as it’s an 8 infusion therapy it would be extremely easy to not administer the correct dosage. Why not administer the correct dosage? Because human beings are extremely floored and it would and is all to very easy for someone to bill the insurance company for x amount of medication given and then instead of administering that amount they only gave me $10,000 worth of the drug and put the other $50,000 in their own pockets.
