I hope that your symptoms get better soon and that those test results will bring good news. Get well :)

(well sorta)
We took the prescription the doctor gave me at the hospital to the pharmacy last night. Just to see... The doctor had said that many insurance companies didn't cover it and costs about $300/month. Well, he was a little off...
A 30-day supply of this drug cost
$645.41 (retail) :eek: Luckily, our insurance
did cover it.... and we only paid $40
[This is where MsLedd states the obvious, and regurgitates the discussion about the problem with the health care system (or lack thereof) in the US - see fett's (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126936) thread]$645.41 a month?!? this is a chronic/lifetime condition we're talking about. How the
FUCK can the drug companies be allowed to do this?

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of this. :(
MsLedd on 23/6/2009 at 19:21
Thanks hun :) and everyone... I LOVE YOU GUYS!
But, just so you know... I'm not suddenly dealing with this. It' been going on for a LOOOOONG time, it's just that now I have a name for it (or part of it, anyway). Not to mention a price tag :erg:

Sorry to hear that msledd.
And for what it's worth, I wasn't deliberately ignoring you on the donate moneys side but I'd just been super busy the past month or so.
MsLedd on 24/6/2009 at 06:02
No worries hon!
And just so everyone knows... you can still make donations, they will still go under my name... up until 30 days after the walk (so around July 24th)
And every dollar still makes a difference!! :cheeky:

I can so relate to the endoscopy thing, fortunately, it was GERD for me and just the one end , correctable with surgery from which I'm recovering now. It was either a 20k surgery or 300 bucks a month for nexium for the rest of my life. *grrs and adds his rant about drug companies* So sorry to hear you're not feeling well..Hope you do feel well soon, Mara!:)
