Asthma is really expensive; don't ever get it
$240 at the doctor, $160 at the pharmacy, and another $140 on Monday when they get the rest of my meds in.

And the worst part: that's for a MONTH of meds. :banghead:

1. I take it you have no insurance?
I'm sorry to hear you're having to put out so much money for that. I actually DO have insurance, but I'm in such a world of problems right now that my wife and I are still totally overwhelmed trying to keep me in meds and treatments. I haven't worked since February, and I need to apply for disability or SOME kind of assistance just to get a few bucks coming in of my own. First time ever begging for any help in 39 years and I can't beat down the embarrassment no matter how hard I try. But enough about me - I don't mean to hijack your thread....

I hope for all of us that Obama can make some changes, and I hope you get to feeling better soon! :hug:

but NO LONGER.

Asthma meds are no good, as a rule. :(
