RE: Prescription Medication

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys,

I'm sorry for not posting lately but was back in the hospital last week

with pain and nausea and the nausea was the worst. It turned out not to

be my cp this time. I was impact and my colon full of stool. They gave

me something to drink plus an enama that helped. The doctor said he

could understand why I thought it was the cp. The doctor wants me to be

on Zelnorm which I can't afford to get but he says I need to be on it.

He said this will stop all the bloating and gas after meals and will

need to take a fiber product to keep me regular. I heard of

pharmacutical companies that help some people out with their medicine.

Doe's anyone know anything about this? I don't know how to get the

medicine any other way.

Sincerely,

Janet

Yes, Janet, there are web sites you can go to to get help with scripts. Does

anyone here remember what the addresses are for those? Hang in there.

Someone will get to you with the info.

Janet,

The first place you might tae a look at is the indigent drug site at

Mark's website at top5plus5.com

http://top5plus5.com/Pancreas/Indigent%20Drug%20Programs/

Indigent%20Drug%20Programs.htm

It has information on free medications, as well as state

pharmaceutical assistance programs.

You might also ask your doctor for a prescription for Miralax, a very

efficient, gentle laxative that many of us use that has no taste, and

can be mixed into nearly any type of beverage without changing the

taste or texture. I suggest this because many of us have tried all

kinds of additional fiber, both natural fiber or fiber-based

supplemental products like Metamucil, FiberOne, etc., and found that

these were not enough to produce regular motility. Miralax was

recommended to me after having an impaction that nearly hospitalized

me, and it's been a life saver ever since.

I hope this helps.

With love, hope and prayers,

I went to www.pparx.com searched for my meds, found them, answered

questions, completed some paperwork that my doctor sent in, and

within a month I started getting my meds that would have cost well

over $500/month free. I'm talking pancrease, Duragesic, Protonix,

Lipitor, and a couple of others.
