Just gripping out loud, so to speak...

I just reveiwed my current list of drugs. I am a proud...NOT...owner of a Medicare Part D plan (I retired due Parkinson's disease in 2000 at age 52) and just did the AARP Gap Calculator.

I wish I hadn't, but it was good I did. I wanted to verify that I would go into The Gap/Donut Hole at the beginning of August. Yes, that is certainly correct.

The but here is that I won't be able to afford the wonderful new meds I am taking that have helped me to feel "normal," that is to say with out all the mental health issues I have had prior to a month ago.

Yep, a chat with the doc, but I don't see what even she can do unless I just stop taking my psych meds like so many others do in The Gap. So, find a way to pay or just check into a psych ward come September.

All my meds combined will be $769 a month beginning in August; $370 are phych meds; $234 is insulin.

I hate, hate, hate, hate, The Part D Gap!!!

I join the millions of disabled (physically and mentally) who hate it too!

I just wanted to scream somewhere, so you all got to hear me yoller!!

anyone??
