[Ohio-talk] {Spam?} accessible prescription information from Envision America

[Lisa Hall]

Hi everyone,

I am aware that some blind people did not attend this year's National 
Convention in Orlando, Florida.

En-Vision America is a company I spoke today at our Cincinnati chapter 
meeting. I talked about ways that a blind person can access their 
prescription information in braille, large print, or audio. For my 
example, I use a combination of braille and audio for my needs since I 
am deaf-blind. Currently I am taking 5 different medications for 
various ailments such as, cholesterol, thyroid issues, bladder issues, 
diabetes, and blood pressure. In addition I have sleep apnea in which I 
take Hetlioz from Vanda Pharmaceutical which is one of our sponsors at 
this year's national convention. I also use a CPack machine when I 
sleep at night to help with breathing. I had a sleep study performed in 
january 2015 while Bob Marquardt was in the hospital and nursing home 
facilities. I received my machine right about the time when Bob was 
dying under hospice care. That was a difficult time for me to start 
learning how to operate the machine.

Below is the information you'll need to sign up for prescripption 
service in braille, audio or large print or a combination of formats needed.

If anyone is taking multiple medications and you are not getting 
information on your prescriptions in an accessible form such as 
braille, print, or audio, you should request this at your local 
pharmacy. At this time, Walgreens, and Krogers do not have any service 
available for accessible prescription to my knowledge however, I had a 
friend of mine in our chapter that is going to follow through on this. 
You can get accessible prescription information through Walmart, CVS 
Caremark, and many others. Below is a list of pharmacies and their 
contact information. Many insurance companies are encouraging patients 
to order their medicines in 90 day supplies since it is lower in cost 
than 30 day supplies. Mail order is the way to go since it can be 
brought to your home or work depending on where you live such as a 
house or apartment. Some mail carriers will not leave package at home 
if no one is there especially if it requires a signature.

If anyone have questions for me, you can contact me at home phone (513) 
931-7070 or cell phone (513) 550-5155 or send an email to 
lhall007 at cinci.rr.com. Since I am a user of ScripTalk, Braille labels, 
and ID Mate Quest and Omni, I hope I can anser all your questions. I 
haven't upgraded to the Galaxy model since it is the latest on the 
market. It is my understanding that it's smaller than previous models 
on the market.

Take care everyone.


Sincerely,

Lisa Hall, Cincinnati, Ohio
