Gratuitous Gout

When I get a prescription I go to Staples and make copies.  With 90 day prescriptions, 4 fills at 4 different pharmacies means a year supply.  All of the stuff I take is cheap, old beyond patent protection, generic.  Algodones would probably save some money but the drive from Florida would eat that up.  

My 2 problems at this point are 1) I want a drug and don't have a prescription for it and 2) I have anger and rage that the federal government requires that I have their permission to buy or possess drugs.  I have no problem with being taxed.  Infirmity is a taxable activity.  I have no problem with having to pay for the drugs.  Nobody should be required to provide me with unpaid (slave) labor or products.  

For members of congress and the people who work for the FDA I wish for them a slow excruciating progressive condition for which there is known treatment that they know about yet cannot get permission to take.  They have earned no less.
Say good night, Dick.

In Russia, if you have the bottle you can refill the prescription so long as it isn't a narcotic. I use allopurinol daily 50mg it is 2 bucks for a hundred tablets. I packed a dozen bottles out of Russia when I left. Gout is genetic being historically Irish potatoes and beer was a staple. Deadly nightshade family of plants are a killer as is good Beluga Caviar. But my friend does the asparagus thing too. Works!!

So a poke my friends use on me. "Hey the 1800's called and wants their disease back"

There are some dangers possible, when bringing prescription drugs back from Mexico, with or without a prescription. Danger from that side of the border, or this one.

DO not think there is zero risk, even with a prescription.

Dealing with the law in Mexico basically means you are guilty, and better be able to buy your freedom, and if you think red tape is bad in the USA........

Research the possible risks.

I had an Ex who thought that as long as she got a mexican Doctor to prescribe her opiates that there was no risk. I said I would drop her off a the border in tijuana and she could cross onn foot, and pick her up on the other side, if she made it but I was not taking it in my Van.

I got lucky and no pharmacy down there would fill the prescription, but it was the end of that relationship.

Same issues with the Canadain border. But not being a narcotic the issue is usually not pressed so long as you can prove it isn't a narcotic. Some can be pricks some can be ok.

Narcotics and borders are a huge NO NO!

I even got in crap bringing T1's across Can/USA border once. It is over the counter medication in Canada an a script in the USA. They seized them and let me go. But then I had a badge and zero records... Not fair but such is life

The FDA is a good example of regulatory capture. The dark web has normal prescription stuff, not just recreational drugs. 

Mexico/Canada has the advantage of being legal. Maybe a short plane trip so you can walk over to a Mexican pharmacy, who could mail order it to you thereafter?  I haven't researched it. Or maybe you could refill from an American mailorder pharmacy thereafter with the Mexican 'script?

I suggest CBD Oil from www.honeybhealthyliving.com. The highest quality stuff out there. Many of my friends with worse problems than gout etc have seen remarkable results from it. It's also THC free, can be bought online, excellent customer service anyone could ever ask for. Best thing is that it's all natural so you can take it with anything else you are taking..script or not. Several people that take it found that they could decrease their script intake and/or drastically reduce the number of pills and/or types of meds. I say this only because I have witnessed it myself. I even took it when for awhile when the flu was going around. I never got sick and have never had the flu shot etc.. Hope you find some relief no matter what you do.

My wife has occasional gout bouts. She eats dark red cherries for relief. They are proven to reduce uric acid.

Google The Purple Pharmacy   They are in Canada and Mexico.  Extremely reputable. 

As long as it is not narcotic there is no border problem.
