Some people just can't cut back. I cost my insurance company $25 a month for LDN, and have had only one MRI once over 17 yrs. I don't have to pay for testing or meds either . . . so it's not a personal cost issue for me.

Some people will take, take, take though . . . and those are the one's that could make some changes to benefit others, or pay slightly higher premiums for the better of all. Unfortunately, some people can be fairly self-centered about this kind of issue though.

but if it's working do i dare stop?
the risk may not be worth it.

If I was doing well on my med of choice, and I could somehow afford to continue to use it, I would. It is a very difficult situation . . . when finances can be the deciding factor over health.
