I&amp;#39;ve taken it for 13 years because of IBS-C. &amp;nbsp;I am miserable. Doubled over in pain, cramps, sweating, passing out. This continues to interrupt my daily life. I can&amp;#39;t even go to work most days and I run a business. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;ve tried every medication you&amp;#39;ve asked of me to try and my physician has prescribed everything you&amp;#39;ve asked. Nothing works for me like the Linzess. I look for any information regarding am authorization on the website and app under Prior Authorization and in messages. There &amp;nbsp;is no information regarding my claim. I have to wait until I receive yet another denial letter in the mail and jump through the next hoop only to be told no you have to try something else. We continue to pay our premiums and pay for medications that don&amp;#39;t work all so you can tell me no. What do I need to do for you now that I may receive the Linzess that has worked for me for 13 years????&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://connect.bcbsok.com/aggbug?PostID=275&amp;AppID=5&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
