Hi and welcome,

I'm sorry for all your worries and troubles.

You should try calling your nearest MDA office (muscular dystrophy association). My understanding is that they will arrange for you to see an MDA doctor for free not just once but as long as you need it. The only trouble is that you may not be near enough to one to be able to get there, but it's worth a try. Well, the other trouble might be that the MDA doctor may not be very knowledgeable about mg (I haven't had much luck but then my case may not be as clear cut as yours) But it's worth a try.

I don't know if they can help you with the cost of your meds, but it's worth asking about. Believe it or not, and please I don't mean to sound insensitive, you're in a better position in that you have an official diagnosis and your symptoms are classic symptoms which match the diagnosis. It should be pretty clear at this point which drugs you need, etc.

I hope they can help you.

Ally
