Also you can look on this site called ppa rx. Some pharmaceutical companies have programs that help you get your meds for free or a reduced price.

Good Luck

I forgot I even read this.
I might have been a different version of myself whan I first replied. Thank you for this info. I am going to try to remember to call them this time. Im still broke, still hungry. I pick people's vegetables and fruits from their yards to eat. i know thats pretty rude to do. But it's lunch right?
lol
I also eat peoples food from the fridge at work, i steal the toilet paper from there too.
I hope things get better soon.
I make just enough for my rent, transportation to work, and my medicine right now.

many people are way worse off than i am.

i just came across this - an yes i know the feeling - meds or food - im glad you have enough to get by although it still sounds like a struggle -I really hope things improve for you soon

IN Australia there are charities that wil help wiht food if you are stuck - there are also food kitchens - although they are over filled wiht poeple who need help - but the charities may be worth a look and the food stamps someone else mentioned

im lucky that where i work there is bread so i can always make toast and somtimes spare meals that the patient may have left earlier that day or be out for dinner - or the weekend - that has helped me a lot of times

i buy 2 min noodles and add vegies to them when they are on special or toast and baked beans or toast - lol i used to say i knew 100 ways to eat bread lol

I really hope things improve for you soon

P7

let us know how you are doing ok

you are probably on disability and that is why you can get it for dental and vision-I am not on disability. Maybe you would care to tell me who to ask and how to request it? Because I have tried everything I can think of to get them to make an exception for me.

Pretty frickin hungry right now.

Have you tried contacting the pharmaceutical companies which manufacture the drug(s) you must have? Your physician can help with this contact. The manufacturers offer programs for free medication under certain circumstances. Doctors often have samples to give out that will tide you over a part of the month.
Thanks for this!
