Angry More whine - anyone got some cheese?
I am so frustrated. I have been on Copaxone for 2 years, with my pathetic insurance paying only a 25% copay. I've maxed out my home equity, drained my savings, and now Teva has raised the price so my C. now costs $5014.43 for a 3 month supply!!!! I make too much to qualify for any aid (around $38,000 per year), but how can I manage over $20,000 of that for C????

In 2 years I have had no progression and no new lesions. I love C., but only have 5 syringes left with no funds to buy more. And what's REALLY frustrating is that I just saw that generic C. is now available in Canada.

Maybe I'll go buy a lottery ticket. Heck, I've tried everything else.

i'm so sorry.
that is a terrible expense.
have you tried contacting the chronic disease fund? they may be able to help.
can your neuro offer any suggestions?
they won't negotiate at all?

the bums.

That just sucks. You cannot get assistance yet you cannot afford it. Just not right.
