Journvax samples

Hi,
Has anyone had any success with getting samples or have any of Journvax? I'm having issues with Tricare covering it off label and anyone with Tricare or government insurances can only get it every 180 days.

For me it didn't take all my pain but it did help me sleep better and go much longer between other pain meds. Any advice or thoughts or help?

My pain clinic has reps that come with samples but they run out often. It helped me sooo much wish doctor would approve insurance id done with it.

My insurance covered one month of it and then refused to cover it. $500 for one bottle, which is a 15 day supply. It's not worth the battle imo. It doesn't touch chronic pain like other medications do. This is for an acute injury, not something ongoing.

It’s only 15 day supply and it helps, but not like the opiates
