$2.96 every couple of months for Chlortabs. I was buying Excedrin Migraine, but it's discontinued until further notice, so I take Advil Migraine and it is almost as good as Excedrin. Advil is almost $10 every couple of months. So, that's the extent of my health costs.
Back in December, I was out snigging camphour laurel logs. There was some sort of tiny insect, something I couldn't see, hear or feel, which bit all over my torso underneath my T-shirt. I waited for a week in the expectation that the bites and itches would fade. Instead, they multiplied.
I went to the doctor for the first time in six years. It was hives.
She prescribed calamine lotion and antihistamine tablets - $24.00.
The combo worked reasonably well - reduced symptoms by a third within 24 hrs. Added bonus, good sleep - side effect of the drug.
