Default The drug companies....




Okay, so I'm in a very grouchy mood and want to complain (sorry)... Maybe it's cuz I'm just feeling SO sick

When I was on copaxone (for a month!) - I used to joke that if they just stopped sending me STUFF - maybe they could lower the cost of the shots so that they didn't cost roughly $65 a day. Sigh. I was at the neuro's office two weeks ago - and commented, upon looking around the office - that it looked like the drug co's all exploded in the waiting room - and I made that comment about the shot - and a woman sitting there just screamed, "Good lord - how much money?!"

Last night I joked with some people in a MS support group that I felt like if I asked the people at Shared Solutions to come blow my nose for me that they would!

Of course, now that I'm switching to Tysabri - I find myself almost missing Shared Solutions - as the Tysabri (TOUCH) people stink, as far as I'm concerned. I find that Shared Sols was very proactive...and I feel like the TOUCH people must twiddle their thumbs a lot. Of course, I'm just dying (ha ha) to get on this med,which might kill me, give me liver poblems and or melanoma - but I don't care - I just want on it NOW....and I feel like they drag their feet over there. When I call, they give different stories each time - I say stories b/c it doesn't even seem like answers. I know it is a LONG process - a lot more steps than just shipping out a bunch of shots to me....but still.


Okay - so what's your favorite "give away" from a drug company?
