Wendy-
        I was reading your post about your pain and lack of money.I assume 
you do not qualify for public assiatance,have you ever heard of the P"patient 
Assistance Program"?I am a nurse and I used to work for a doctor and I used 
to deal with this program all the time.It is based on $$$ but is for those 
who do not have insurance but don't qualify for public assistance.The 
paerwork can be overwhelming,but the end result, is you usually get 3 months 
worth of your meds free.You have to deal with each individual drug 
manufacturer.Call your doctor and ask them about it,if they are hesitant,get 
access to a PDR(library) and look up the drug company by name.There is a 
whole index in the front of the PDR in alphabetical order.They almost all 
have a toll free customer service #- ask them about the program.Find out if 
they will send the paperwork to you or do they have to send it to your 
doctor.If you get the paper work, you complete it, send it to  your doctor 
for his part to fill out and then wait.It can take several months, but my 
friend got a 3 month supply of asthma medication for her daughter that runs a 
120 buck a month.The other drawback, is because it takes so long, only a few 
weeks after you get the medicine, you get to start the paperwork again! Hope 
this helps you!
