wow...just wow! I had NO IDEA about the cost of MS meds... when I first went on betaseron I had a co pay with blue cross blue shield, but it was not overly high. I think, but not sure, at that time beta was around 1200$ a month (in 2000) of which I paid a small co-pay. In 2004 after Roy and I married, I switched to Tri-care and the 3 month supply from xpress-scripts costs me $9 so I have not had a clue about what the charges were for the drug since I first went on it. OMG it's almost tripled in price! Why isn't it coming DOWN with more people on it?
I don't get it, I just don't get it and I would love, love, love to let it go but how can I when I've not had one diagnosed "relapse" since the original flare in 7/2000?
I'm certainly on board with those of you going bareback and not looking back. I know for Dej the cure was as bad or worse than the disease itself.
