You're right, Jane. It allowed me to get a prescription plan (I don't have the Medicare prescription plan) but not the health insurance. Thank goodness I have Medicare for health. The rx plan covered over $2K on the Tec for me! Then they sent a letter "suggesting" Avonex because it's cheaper. Um, no thanks. I've done my time with needles.

Second day with 240mg capsules. Took my AM dose about 10 AM along with a bowl of oatmeal. No reactions yet and it's been 2.5 hours. I haven't had any stomach upset yet but that might come after a few days on the full dosage. I'm sticking close to home just in case.
