Default Hey there GByrd!

I am seriously thinking about driving to Mexico! Mike and I are talking about moving out of the country........meds and labs are just too high!

I just got a bill from lab corp for $1000 for a single draw - a single draw.......that can't be right!

We just cannot leave right now. My hubby's on is only 16 and we can't be away from him.......but I really don't know what we'll do if these costs continue to rise.......truly.......

The calling and getting 3 months at a time is a solid idea. You can get some meds VERY cheap that way.

That has to be extremely frustrating.......

If all else fails..drive to my area and head to mexico! Lol. Personally i wouldn't do it, but i know a lot of people that do..not for MG, but for other stuff.
