What has this cost you this month, in any currency?

Found a hardship fund at my university that I did not know existed.

The cost with no end date is the part that gets me, more than the amount.

Nothing this month. I am fortunate and I know it.

Price went up mid-year and I had a very unglamorous evening with a calculator.

Stopped. On cost. No drama, no shame, and I will come back when I can.

It has been the hardest part of this from the beginning and nobody writes about that.

Compared four pharmacies in one city and the spread was larger than I expected.

Wrote the arithmetic out with no rounding. Seeing it was steadying rather than frightening.

Asked about a lower maintenance dose partly for cost reasons and got a proper conversation about it.

Told my partner what it actually costs. That conversation was four months overdue.

It stops me thinking about anything else some weeks.
