I know what you mean. My Aubagio is $6,800.00 month 😖. Without insurance and a grant I would be going without. 🐾. Ken

I am fully aware of everything out there. How do you think I got my last MRI after my latest relapse.MSAA if a great resource...oh and the great ms foundation that blows you off is totally USELESS! They give me a grant for home health care and pick a company that refuses to service the contract because I have dogs and never reissue the grant to someone that will actually service it.....total scam DON'T DONATE TO THIS ORG!!!!

My mistake, I apologize. 😟😀🤗

We ALL have been fighting this monster, for a little while, or many yrs. WE all bleed MS. And fight the battle together!

Your not alone in this. Only if you chose to be.

🤗💕

Once again I apologize for the dude, but I call my girls dudes too. 😊

what do men by "only if you chose to be? " nobody chooses to be alone in a battle like this but sometime it feels like I am alone (other than my husband) in trying to get any help at all

but I don't have medical insurance have not been able to get it since 2015. Obamacare my ass once they find out how sick I am they just refer you to medicaide and then tell you that you have to pay the first $1200+ each month of your medical bills before they'll cover anything....and oh may I add our asshole of a Governor from the state of Ohio KASICH is a real POS.

We could all have affordable health if it wasn't for JOHN MC CAIN tanking any hope of that because he is a bitter, dying old man who's hated of Trump overpowers his common sense...but hey what does he have to worry about he has great insurance that all of us sick people that can't afford insurance are paying for!!!!
