As for the meds, do you qualify for this program as well as others in your state? http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/oes/hiap/del_exp.htm I know each state has different requirements.
thanks for the tip Trish, I am not considered disabled so I don't think I qualify but I will check into it.

Give it a try. You may qualify for other programs in your state.

Additionally, many of the DMD companies offer assistance. You can also see what studies are being done in your area. Some pay for the meds. You also get excellent care. While I was part of a study, they did not cover the Copaxone but did provide the oral steroids. Also, I got great care during that time.

You can also talk to your dr about your situation and see if he would prescribe the LDN for now until you get insurance. Provide as much documentation as you can for him to review and discuss with you. He may be in agreement with it based on your situation.

In the meantime, know that I am keeping you in my prayers.

I'm sorry Char . I might have missed a post suggesting this but have you tried contacting the NMSS? I've connected with a wonderful girl at my local chapter who has been helpful to me in more situations than I can count.

Try to speak with the program director at your local chapter. I really hope they can help you out.

Just seeing this now, but you know how sorry I am to hear that you are feeling yucko Char. I have been battling the nasty vertigo for a while now and it's really a downer. The Phys Therapist and Dr are working together on my middle/ear etc to see if they can help alleviate it w/o going on oral roids or injections.

I feel bad for you in regards to the insurance situation and I'm really of no help in that area, but just wanted to chime in and say I understand how you feel from the physical aspect of it.
Take care my Mainah friend.

P.S. That RW is a keeper as far as buds go. Your'e an amazing person RW!
