There are a few meds that I don’t think they offer help because they are just too old but yet they are financially out of reach.
If my income alone is considered I would qualify for a lot more help but my husbands SSDI is included so that’s where I fall into the “ you make too much money”
I’ll know the facts tomorrow I know the turn around time a few years ago when I went through a company drug plan for Otezla for severe psoriasis it took 9 weeks to be processed so all the applications can take time where I will be with out crucial meds.
My breathing is bad enough with my inhalers so without even for a day is scary because I will not be getting enough oxygen.
It’s all such a mess
But at least tomorrow I’ll find out just how screwed I will be.
