Good thing the FDA is out there protecting the US from us aging arthritis patients. I mean if this stuff got out on the street somebody might take it and get a headache or a rash.

Anyone else have to deal with the FDA to get their mail-orders? I'd be interested in hearing your experiences.

A young filly like you takes arthritis medication? Now I do feel old…

Going on ten years now, Bill.

FWIW, the guy at the FDA said they were going to return my prescriptions to Canada, but I could just call the company and tell them and they'll re-ship my order. (Customs checks only a fraction of the mail crossing the border)

And you're still dancing? Good for you.

Is it actually still cheaper, even since the exchange rate narrowed? I'm rather surprised; the price differences must be worse than I thought.

The prices can vary some from the US rate, depending on what you take, but for me I am saving about 50%. A couple % currency fluctuation doesn't affect it too much, in fact the outfit I order from has not adjusted prices all year. If you need a newer brand name medication for which there is no generic, you can really save a bundle.

Wait, the guy at the FDA said "call for reship we only check a fraction of the mail" essentially told you "try again, we probably won't catch you next time?"

I can't decide if he was being cool or if that's the lamest thing I've heard today. How much do you believe in your job if you tell people how to defeat your function?

The FDA needs work.

Arthritis is a real *itch. I've started to get it recently, starting last January and it kept me in bed for a week with a bad back.
