Avatar m tn We got the two grants PAN allows and the one from PAF. But they were all before they raised their grant allowances and didn't cover the full 24 weeks. His cirrhosis is stage 4 and the dr wanted 24 weeks. Actually the dr said that if it was a financial hardship he could miss the last month. But we talked about it and decided that should he eventually relapse we didn't want to have to wonder if the final month would have made a difference. This is all we've used PAN and PAF for.
1281603 tn?1283798699 I would like to add to that advice that diabetic complications are very real and to encourage everyone diagnosed with either form of diabetes or even pre-diabetes to take responsibility to monitor and control your blood sugars on a daily basis. We tend to trust doctors to keep us well and especially here in the U.S. we rely on medication for EVERYTHING. No doctor can follow us around 24/7 and make sure we eat right, exercise, maintain healthy weight and take the meds they actually prescribe.
Avatar n tn Go to the nearest ER. The doctor should look at the wound, treat it, then run tests to check for parasites. He/she should also start your bf on antibiotics. As troy stated, this is a diabetic forum. I replied because years ago I got a parasite infection from a nick while in CR.
Avatar f tn s age, but reasons could include diabetes with uncontrolled glucose, onset of nuclear cataracts, and degenerative myopia with progressive axial growth of the eye and retinal degeneration.

Avatar f tn I have had one tooth come out and currently have three that are loose and are preventing me from eating anything solid. I think I might have periodontal gum disease advanced stage. I am homeless with no insurance or income. I don't know what to do. How can I get dental care for this immediately? Any assistance programs or grants or something? I've looked up stuff til my eyes hurt and haven't been able to find assistance. Have pics of teeth if needed.
Avatar f tn pdf Many users here would gladly trade places with you because they already have cataracts, macular degeneration, uveitis, retinal bleeding from diabetic retinopathy (smoking doubles the risk of diabetes). Lots of people develop these diseases even though they do not smoke. There is often no reason why these problems arise in patients and severely affect their eyesight.

Avatar f tn I was in the same boat. My only suggestion is that you can file financial aid by yourself (with your income and tax information and not your parents') when you are 23, so that you can get grants, and free up other money that would have been spent on tuition so that it can be used for med. expenses.

1310633 tn?1430224091 Jan 28 (Reuters) - As Washington has tightened its belt in recent years, the budget cuts have sliced most deeply in states where President Obama is unpopular, according to an analysis of federal spending by Reuters. Between the 2009 and 2013 fiscal years, funding for a wide swath of discretionary grant programs, from Head Start preschool education to anti drug initiatives, fell by an average of 40 percent in Republican-leaning states like Texas and Mississippi.
Avatar m tn The FDA grants priority review to medicines that may offer major advances in care or provide a treatment option where no adequate therapy exists. FDA review will begin approximately 60 days after receipt of the application and will aim to be complete within six months from when the review period begins.
Avatar n tn t sleep most nights. Even the sheets hitting her leg is too much to take. She was negative for diabetes and she had vascular tests done that were all normal. The doctor now wants her to have a biopsy done. Are they thinking skin cancer? Even from a little cut from a razor? She' never been a sun worshipper. I'm worried. Thank you for any information.
Avatar f tn There are grants available for the drugs especially if you have insurance. I have lousy insurance, but I have not paid a thing for the meds. The incivek was paid for in full, peginterferon was donated through grants and ribaviron is covered by insurance. If you have trouble with copays let me know and I will dig up the information I used. My brother has great insurance and he still got assistance with copays. My bro and I have been on meds at the same time. good luck!
315996 tn?1429054229 Someone in a government organization that tracks HCV in people told me that this latest slew of treatments by Gilead were paid for by government grants. Initially federally funded chemists developed these solutions, then formed a company, then got bought out by Gilead. This is so general a description that I hope someone else can make it sound more credible. Sure is incredible if this is true.
