My last one was about five days late, and I felt a bit more fatigued than usual for that last several days. I hope your next one will be on time with the financial assistance in place.
I just received a letter from Anthem Blue Cross (my insurance co.), and it looks like they are tightening the thumbscrews on my existing infusion center because of their insane costs. Now, the insurance company has added two local infusion centers (within 5 miles of my house), and they have quoted a cost that is 30% less than my existing infusion center, and will not charge the unidentifiable costs! Hence, that will actually be a price drop of 45%, which is manageable.

However, only when I see it in writing I will be happy to go to one of them.

I do like the way this is going. Good old-fashioned competition between infusion centers!

EDIT: I just received a call from the infusion center and BIOGEN is sending the Tysabri to them so that the infusion center cannot mark-up the price by 50%. LOL
