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.

I live near Wisconsin. Are you kidding? I could bring ALL the cheese ..I'm going thru the financial thing for Ty myself.. When they told me the cost without insurance is around $10,000 a month, it took a while to pick my jaw up off the floor. Of course, they cut a deal with my insurance company, so it's ONLY $6700 a month. Much better..
I feel your pain! Pass some more whine..

Hey Polar,

Maybe we could take that cheese and have a yard sale and raise us some money.....

I didn't think anyone could have a bigger med bill than me, but you win!

Polar, I'm so sorry you're going through such difficulty trying to afford Copaxone. Have you contacted the Copaxone people? Explain to them that you can't afford the co-pay anymore, it's possible they have a patient's assistance fund.

Don't give up. Also, contact NMSS and explain the problem. Maybe they can come up with something.

It makes me sick every time I hear the cost of the DMD's. It's unbelievable!
