Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Dawn, I know all about spend down it happened to me.. Find out who the drug company's are that your medicines come from go to the web site, they all have indigent programs, all you need to do is call the toll free number they will send paper to you or your physcian and then all it has to be done is filled out. I got all my meds like that for about 2 years. If you have any questions email me..I will help you out.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 I felt like that for a long time, but I had the benefit of knowing others who had a disability. It was the weirdest feeling in the world to me to find myself in the position I am in, especially when I went to apply for Medicaid and was denied because the state had just shut down the program weeks before! But the good thing about something as shifting as RA is, something is always changing. Get your rest, Dawn. Take good care of yourself.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 There are places that offer help with medications depending on economic circumstances. I don't qualify but I have saved some links to sites. I have no idea how good they are or even if they still exist. I hope they help. God bless.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hey Dawn, I am sorry you have to deal with this. I was just recently tagged with RA in June 2004. I feel a lot like you do. My depression still gets ahold of me from time to time. Being only 32, this hit me too young. I was and still am very angry. I don't cry as much except when my wife is in pain with her Lupus. I have lost her car, and about ready to lose my truck (which is fine because it is a manual transmission and it is really starting to bug the crapola outta me.) We are 2 months behind on our house, the medications are a constant bill the medical bills are everywhere, No one seems to give a damn that we are sick they just want there dollar. They call non stop (oops, I forgot to pay my phone bill, now it is disconected and they can't get me.) I am just now starting to get the anger thing out constructively. My arguements with collectors and individuals who don't care what's wrong is starting to become fun. This in itself is scary for it borders along the lines of my sanity. Or at least what is left of it. We really don't need much, just enough to get us to the bathrooom in the morning. Feel free to vent I love it! And I am sure others do as well.
