I commented on this on the main thread.
CRJ to my knowledge isn't shutdown?
But yeah, Avee is a pharm, they had pretty low prices for this game. CRJ is more expensive, about $20 more or so per #120 ct.
If CRJ is shutdown, and with their already fabulous(NOT) track record to RXSO, I think I'm going to Madison Pain Clinic. They can have all my blood and [censored] they want, I just want to goto college and become something of myself and function without worrying about having to fall to my knees and throwup because with my CP condition comes extreme diziness.
I don't think CRJ is shutdown though, but they can't hold a candle to Avee. Bootlegg operation all the way, used to use CRJ years ago when I was with BestRxCare, and dropped them JUST BECAUSE OF CRJ. Bad meds, high prices and failed me numerous times.

The question is who is filling for them. CRJ and Avee are both shut down as of Feb 2nd.
Kelly, any answers?
This is the first we have heard of the CRJ and YPM issue (AVEE we knew about). I think it is quite obvious now that the regulatory authorities are doing everything they can to impact this industry. We are working on a solution as I type, but NO plans will be discussed in this open, public forum. We will communicate directly with our patients through email and PM's. I have already read posts about Chris and his services. I hope the members will keep in mind that Chris has provided service to patients that could not recieve their meds from any other source for quite some time, and he has done this without wavering. I am sure this is a difficult time for he and his employees, and I would hope people will show him support during this time.
As I mentioned, we are working on a solution for our current members and their refills. Once again, we will not process any new consults until we figure out fulfillment options for refills that are due and are coming due. I will respond to as many posts as I can this evening, but I will not respond to comments abviously made to invoke any sort of controversy or debate.
We eluded to this weeks ago; this is and will continue to be a tough time for this industry. I am sure these closings are not the last we will hear of over the next few days. Keep in mind, RXSO and their pharmacy partners have conducted business within the guidelines of the regulatory Rules that govern us. Telemedicine is practived every day by both public and private sector businesses and entities. There are many ILLEGAL online pharmacies. The problem is the regulatory authorities do not know how to find them, so they are looking for examples to make of places that they can reach.

Well because of Avee lying to RXSO's clients, about them notifying us about the change in their refill schedule, it's now been over a week since refill was due to be ordered.
I was optimistic this morning though, as my refill date had been returned to 25 days, not 30 on RXSO's site. So I placed a refill thinking soon I would actually get one.

Aside; To save confusion I will be changing my name to something else soon. "Purrfull" is too similar to my username, and the new purr doesn't wish to change her/his name. I am pretty sure that "laurafull", or "Unimatrixfull" would understand. Out of respect I shall alter my name to not cause confusion. I would imagine new people would find the two confusing. Sort of like Adminfull, or moderatorfull...?
Do you think that we do not WANT to get your refills to you?> Honesttly, this is not a matter of us or any of our pharmacy partners not wanting to provide you with service. This is a matter of regulatory interference. I am sorry your refills have not been delivered, and as I stated, we are working on a solution. But please keep in mind, our inability to srevice you right now is not our choice. For the same reason you can not receive meds from your local physician, you can now NOT receive medication from our pharmacy partners; regulatory interference. And for all of the people making statements that the AVEE, CRJ and YPM (not to mention NWW, Medipharm, etc) closings were just a matter of time, why were you using these services? I have countless emails from my patients saying they were all basically life savers for them and their families.
All of the above mentioned companies will continue to do what they can given the circumstances and situation. Please be patient as we, RXSO, will do the same.

So CRJ is shutdown now, RxScriptOnline has no pharmacy. Sorry for all of you that have to suffer through this time without meds.
The feds are attacking innocent people. Is it illegal to have a pharmacy in this country that services telemedicene? No. Can big brother bully that pharmacy to stop, or even out of business, you better believe it.
Here's an interesting nrief article regarding telemedicine in Canada. I found it tonight in an attempt to find a local pain clinic if the trip to my specialist doesn't work out well for me. Use of Telemedicine in Chronic Pain Consultation: a Pilot Study
Author(s): Peng P; Stafford M; Wong D; Salenieks M;
OBJECTIVES: Telemedicine has been used extensively in various settings, including monitoring patient treatment response and counseling. However, there are few data on the application of telemedicine to chronic pain patients. The present study was the first pilot project to determine whether telemedicine technology for chronic pain consultation was feasible, cost-saving, and satisfactory to patients and pain physicians. METHODS: A prospective pilot study was conducted on chronic pain patients requiring follow-up consultations using telemedicine technology. Patients were interviewed by phone following the consultation. RESULTS: Eleven telemedicine anesthesia consultations involving eight patients (age 42+/-9 years; six men, two women) were performed. All were follow-up consultations. The average distance from patients' home to the clinic was 314+/-170 km. The reasons for consultation were for update of patient progress (10/11), medication change (6/11), and counseling (3/11). The time to complete the consultation was 24.5+/-9.5 minutes. Patients having telemedicine consultations spent 0.9 hours (0.83-1) and Canadian dollar 3 (dollar 2-4) versus an estimate of 8 hours (6-8) and Canadian dollar 80 (dollar 46-260) for a conventional consultation. Telemedicine consultation was found to be highly satisfactory to the patient and the consulting and attending anesthesiologists. CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study indicates that telemedicine follow-up consultations for chronic pain patients are feasible and cost-saving. Patients and anesthesiologists were highly satisfied with telemedicine consultation. Patients reported a significant saving in time and cost compared with a conventional consultation.

Why are you accusing us of using these services???? These are the services used by RXSO, not us. Stop blaming the customers. We didn't cause the problems.
Kelly is not blaming the customers. He is not accusing anyone of anything. He asked why people who realized these particular pharms were next in line to go would use the OC's that used those pharms. I would wonder the same thing myself. Why use a place that you believe is in trouble and then be upset at the ROP when it did get in trouble?

Well, how are we supposed to know who MIGHT be going out of business. Is that really our job as a patient?---or should we believe RXSO when they tell us that is where they have sent our refill request? How do others know that they(CRJ) went out of business & RXSO didn't know? Don't they find out this info prior to the patients doing research or are we all expected to be psychic & know who is out & who is in(online pharmacies)? Personally, I would like ito have a pain-free life with a company that I can count on to take care of their business. I only want RXSO to take care of their business as they always have up until the "Dr. retiring-need to have new consult" issue 2 months ago & then this fiasco. I find it so hard to believe that RXSO would have all their eggs in one basket with one ridiculously supid, lying pharmacy-AVEE-who evidentally dropped them like hot potatoes. RXSO had to have found that AVEE was dumping them prior to this entire fiasco & waited until patients started calling in for refills before trying to find another pharmacy. For God's sake, xfer the G.D. scripts to Walgreen's, Wal-Mart or CVS or is that against the cardinal Rules that I evidentally don't know about. These stores have plenty of meds & can xfer anything that they don't have from any other store in the U.S.A. RXSO-get with it & take care of your business. I don't whine to you about my problems, so don't whine to me about yours. You are supposed to conduct your business like it really is one & I should not be expectecd to research all the online pharmacies in the world. Plus, not being psychic, I find it impossible to divine which online pharmacies are on their way out. Is that really my job? Can't I have a pain-free life & leave the pharmacy finding to RXSO? I am not blaming Kelly for anything. He is the unfortunate one who is designated to listen to people who are in excruciating pain & then he tries to do what he can to help. Not a fun job or task to have. My script is now 8 days late, I am cranky, & sorry if anyone is offended, but I depend on RXSO to do their job & this time they have not. By the way, I have never heard of CRJ who RXSO told me yesterday that they had sent my refill request to. Who are they? How do you know that they are not in business anymore? When did they go out of business? Why didn't RXSO know about this if their patients did? Thanks for any info about CRJ & the other places that are now dark. I have looked for a CRJ web site, but couldn't find one. Cecelia
