Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Hi Cindi, Thanks for the supportive words. No I do not have a doctor anymore. I have epilepsy too and the cost of the meds are prohibitive - I live in Southern California so I am able to drive to Mexico to get them. I just take what I used to be prescribed - hence the urgency to get another job...one with medical. I had no idea that there were clinics that would take me with no insurance for RA - I figured that I was on my own - kind of the " bummer for you " So I got some new anti inflmamatories that the doctor in Mexico gave me - they help a little, not alot, and don't rip me up too bad. Yes, to answer your question, my id is for the flower. I love the Caribbean and the flower plumeria. There it is called Frangipani - but the same flower. It is my link to paradise... Do I just start calling doctors and clinics in the meantime or contact the arthritis org or? Do you know of anyone that has been sponsored for medical care? Then the problem is the drugs too... , Rancho Cucamonga, California > HI LISA, > > WELCOME TO THE GROUP ! YOU WILL FIND EVERYONE HERE IS GREAT.
