Sorry to hear you are having these problems with meds. I did leave my husband of

25 yrs so I could get coverage for my meds and doctor bills. Have you checked

WalMart to see if any of the meds are on the list and if they are not see if any

can be changed to ones that are. It didn't work for me but maybe you will be

lucky.

Thinking of you,
