Re: Medicine from Mexicoreply to Jan

[Guest guest]

Hi Jan,

Did it really seem to help to call the drug companies

if you will.

I have been divorced for a year and a half, still

looking for that job I can do and really am running

out of money. My fear is the first thing to go will

be the meds. And of course paying all I do for rent

there is little left, but hey figure why FL said I

have to much $$ and can only get the medicare which

does help to much.

Just wondering today, thanks for your time.

Sheri: I don't know if calling Aventis and getting their requirements will

help. They are supposed to forward me some forms to complete. Like you, I

have too much income (what a laugh). I know what you mean about letting the

meds go. Some months I can't afford all of them, so I get what I can. I was

babysitting for a 6 month old and a two year old but it got to be too much so

I gave it up.

Have you tried the medicine program? Some drug companies requirements will

help with meds regardless of the income. I didn't have any luck with them

but a lot of people have.

Keep your chin up. People don't really understand how hard it is to manage on

a limited income. Though my husband still works part-time, he does not

contribute to my bills or my medicine. He was married before and my bills

are mine and his money his, so it is hard sometimes.

Try the Medicine Program you can download a form to send . You have to send

$5 for each rx but supposedly they will refund that if you are denied

medicine. Your doctor has to sign some paperwork but it would be worth a shot

for you. Good luck.
