No fill needles? Anyone else encountered this?

Hi Everyone..

I was scheduled for a fill last Wednesday, but got a call first thing in the morning my doctor's office had no fill needles, that they are backordered and will call as soon as they come in. I was bummed because I know I need a fill and could have used it two weeks ago, but my doctor is so conservative with fills (will only do .6cc at a time), that I stuck it out til my appointment.

I just called this morning (monday) to check on the status and the secretary said they are still on backorder and that she has heard it is a nationwide shortage. ARGH!!!

Anyone else?

Thanks leatha, I would be curious. She also said something like she has heard that California has none at all. (I am in Massachusetts..)
