Does anyone have an experience with self-administered intravenous?  How easy was it to learn?  Any advice?

This is a US based article, but how much help is offered by governments in Canada for people who need these medications?

I've been looking a bit into medications to treat a condition I might have.  There aren't many.

I've learned there is a shortage of one, is not available in the province and it's estimated it won't be until the summer.  This isn't to prevent something as minor as a rash, it's to prevent a reaction that has a high potential to be life-threatening.

Are drug shortages like this common?  It's not that often that I hear about them, and I pay attention to medical news.

I am going to take a moment to share with you a bit about this disease, the impact, and a good news story.

Here is a link to those who have never heard of it. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_neuralgia

Greetings!

Quite a few months back I posted a topic starter about being prescribed cholesterol lowering medication and my feelings about not wanting to take it. My doctor prescribed Crestor as my attempts at controlling it with diet were getting me nowhere. My cholesterol was very high (8.4ish) at the time. I started taking the medication, did experience muscle pain at first, but started taking Coenzyme Q10 which I believe made a difference.
