Therefore I say to you both --- be thankful, it could be worse. Like me. Hugs  |
If you get on SSI make sure you get on Medicare and make sure you sign up for Part D. Even though it costs you a bit to sign up for it, it's worth it. My mother-in-law is on SSI with medicare, she's only 50. But, she never signed up for part D. She has bipolar and chronic degentritive bone disease, so she's in massive pain 24/7 and randomly breaks her bones. (In the 1.5 years she's lived with us she's broken her rib and her leg just by doing normal everyday things, like walking.) Anyway, her pain med is $120 a month with the dicount she receives through the pharmacy for not having insurance.... She can't get her seroquil which is around $400 or so a month... So, just 2 pills pays for it.
Anyway, I hope you can get on Medicare because that will help you. Since I work, I'm not there just yet.
