Hello to all! I tried unsucessfully to post this information last night
but I was drowsy and obviously did something wrong. I found two
websites that provide information about drug manufacturing groups that
will supply their products to people who cannot pay the regular costs.
One of our friends has to pay over 300.00/month for her medication and I
was trying to find a way to help her and I stumbled onto this info! You
have to fill out an application, your doctor has to fill out part of the
form, lots of questions. But even if it helps just one person who is
struggling with the burden of high priced medicine it would be worth the
effort! :o) Not all of us are blessed with health insurance and I can
remember how difficult it was to pay for prescriptions, doctor visits,
and tests without any health coverage. It was a nightmare...we could
not afford the premiums, but we could not afford to go to the doctor
either! BUT...we made tooo much money to be on any type of assistance! I
will never forget how awful that was. Maybe this info will help someone
in the same predicament.

The celexa had terrible side effects for me and the pain management dr.
will prescribe something else when I go for more testing on Thursday. I
would like to know if anyone here has used theraputic massage as a pain
management technique? Our local salon tells me that they have several
fibromyalgia/adhesion patients visiting them and that the technician
herself has been dx with the same problems. This makes her extremely
empathetic!
