I started a new job and I have to stand all day and sell, and yes, you read that right. I have new insurance that's very good and I save over $500 a month with that.

Wish me continued luck with the Copaxone and as usual, I'm cheering for you all and keeping you all in my prayers for continued good luck with Tysabri.
Glad to hear it's going well for you, both the Copaxone AND the new job!

I wonder how companies justify increasing the price of drugs that people need to survive or live a normal life, when the economy is in the freakin' toilet. Shame on them all, they deserve to be beaten with the outrage and despair of every person who has to give up treatment because they cannot afford it.

I have this mental picture in my mind of you all, shaking bones and bells and charms, muttering prayers and voodoo curses, dancing around in a circle of salt, with leetle glasses and tiny bottles of cheer in the middle...myyyyyy friends!
