My PM gave me 2 samples to put on today. I guess they run about $12.00 for 1 patch!! So if I needed 2 a day for a month that about 720.00 ...more than my rent! And since i don't have insur that won't happen lol
Not sure what you can do other than maybe write a letter again
Another thing to consider, depending on how large of an area you need to cover with the patches, is cutting them in half and using the two halves instead of two full patches in the areas you need to cover. I use mine on my ankle and wrists most of the time and those are small areas so using a half patch on each is usually fine. When I need them on my back then I usually use a whole patch. Just an idea if you need to cut costs or get more mileage out of a box of them.
