No insurance, no money, no meds
Tue, 05/08/2007 - 11:07Topic: Family & Friends
My 26 y.o. daughter was diagnosed in Mar. of last yr. To make a short story long, I'm a lifelong epileptic, (have ins through husband's mil. ret.) her 4 y/o son is newly diagnosed, & is covered by medicare, she divorced, and last week lost insurance. Now 3 days with no meds for her, Topamax price is $1000 per mo.- so far, we cannot afford insurance coverage for her. She cannot drive due to seizures at the moment, thus cannot work. Disability is a JOKE, and her neuro will only give samples. State of Ga. has no resources for her, and we are losing hope. Anyone have any ideas? This is hell.
