Ouch.

I handle mine by living in a country with socialized medical care. All procedures I've had so far are fully covered by medicare (thymectomy, plasmapheresis, radiation therapy). My meds are fully covered by my private health care and my long term disability payment is covered at 80% of my salary by the same.

Get yourself on one of those medicine bus trips to Canada

My meds are expensive, and I am seeing "specialists" by the boatload - still - and am worried about the long term cost of health care - and it's pitiful coverage here in the US.

The meds I take are:
Prednisone - 3 X daily
Mestinon - 3-5 X daily
Imuran 3X daily
Xanax - when needed - I still have my bottle from Nov, so I should be OK
Nystatin 5-10 mls 3 X daily
Rhinocort aqua - 2 X daily
Iron pills 2 X daily
Fexofenadine 180 mg 1 daily
Protonix 1 daily
Prenatal vitamins 1 daily
Calcium with D 1800 mgs daily
Mestinon 180 mgs 1 daily
Paxil 20 mgs daily
Sulfameth/Trimethprim 800/160 tabs 1 every Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Singulair 10 mgs daily

I know we ALL have to take alot of meds, and was wondering how you ordered yours? I get mine through Walgreens, but am trying to figure out how to keep costs down. WAAAAAAAAAAY down.

How do you order yours?

Any help would be appreciated!
