Not sure what to do - need help

Hi Folks,

This is my first post here, am also new to this whole OP thing. I'm not sure if I may have messed up or not due to trying to rush things.

I signed onto this board 3 days ago and spent several hours browsing messages. I have been in quite a lot of pain for most of the past week and was anxious to find a quick source for meds. Since I don't have the necessary current records yet, I focused on sites that don't require them upfront, or at all, and thought that the medpharmrx source sounded reliable from the reports I saw here. I went ahead and filled out their onsite form, which took me some time to do, but when I hit the submit button I got a page with a line of code indicating some kind of error. Since it was so late - and I still had to get up for work in the morning, I closed down and figured I'd try again later, despite my desire to get things expedited asap. When I went to check in the morning, it seemed my order had gone through after all, as I got an order status page when I logged in at the site. Went to work anticipating a phone call, but none ever came. When I got home that night (this was Thursday), I couldn't access the website at all, and there were posts on the board from folks wondering if they'd closed down! Now I REALLY didn't know what to do! Friday morning I tried again, and they were still unavailable. I checked my cc account online and didn't see any authorizations for the order, so I went off to work clueless and still in pain. Home from work and I found the site was back up, my order was still there and was still "processing", which is where I'm at.

Based on further readings on the message board Thursday night, I finally forced myself to call and make an appt with the HMO doc for a check-up with blood tests. Shockingly, they had an opening first thing Monday morning, so I should finally have some up-to-date records soon, but I'm in a quandry on what to do about this order. I've thought about placing an order with another op, but what if this one does end up coming through in the meantime? How long should I wait to find out? I tried sending an email inquiry to their customer service addy, but it came bouncing back which hasn't made me feel very confident about this.

I really need to get some meds soon - my HMO is notorious for refusing to offer anything that is effective, and asking directly for what I need may result in getting labelled one of those nasty descriptions rather than a script in hand, had lots of experience with this - but I really don't know what to do next. Anyone have any ideas what I should do?

Pain sucks, the desperation can really make it hard to think clearly, and I feel like I might have messed up right out of the starting gate!

TIA
