[QUOTE="nvts, post: 378139, member: 3814"] Susie, first you need to check with the pharmaceutical companies that make your medications and explain the situation. They have TONS of programs out there to help when people can't afford their medications. They'd rather help you out until you're able to afford it than have you switch to another companies medication. Second: You need to call medicaid in your state. You need to let them know how you are unable to work and obtain coverage, that you have chronic illnesses that will not be properly handled without coverage. Check into "Family Health Plus" and see if there's coverage available. Once you explain that husband is not working, nor are you, you should receive medicaid coverage for the two of you. Remember to ask them this: I have appts. that I desperately need to go to - can you backdate the coverage for those dates? Most gov't services backdate to the date of application so therefore the coverage will be in effect when you go to the appts. MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHECK WITH YOUR DOCS AND THE SLEEP CLINIC THAT THEY ACCEPT MEDICAID!!! Going into a tailspin is only going to make matters worse. Go to bed, get some rest and push forward, Young Pilgrim! If you need help googling the information, let me know and I'll dig for you! Beth [/QUOTE]
