Avatar f tn My doctor told me that I have Osteoporosis and wants me to try Forteo an injection for two years. Has anyone tried this drug and what were your side effects, if any. I don't want to make my stomach problems worse than there already are.
Avatar f tn Go get on assistance like food stamps, Medicaid and wic. They may even pay you money because of your situation.
Avatar f tn I have severe osteoporosis and am trying to take Forteo. I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day. So I let the previous trial work its way out of my system for 5 days and tried another full dose. This is three days after the dose and I am weaker each day. I move in slow motion. My doctor is puzzled. Anyone had a similar experience?
Avatar f tn Just was informed that I have osteoporosis. My doctor wants me to use Forteo, an injection that you use for two years.
Avatar f tn Check the MSAA financial assistance website as well. They have an MRI assistance program that will help folks in the diagnostic process under certain circumstances.
Avatar n tn Yes, probably. The manufacturers of HCV meds provide Patient Assistance Programs that you might qualify for if you live in the U.S. I've personally used one, and it helped immensely.

Avatar n tn Insurance will not cover him as they say it is a pre-existing condition. Where does he get financial aid so he can get medical help with a psychiatrist and councillor.?
1713150 tn?1314467342 They have a program that offers the best assistance for those in financial need. There are two kinds of assistance programs...one there is no need for any financial forms to be filled out. They make sure to keep your cost at thirty or forty dollars (I don't remember the exact amount) per month. The other requires you to fill out financial forms...If you are in need you will be approved and they move quickly. I wish you the best.
Avatar f tn My doctor has given me options for medications for MS. These are expensive since they are considered specialty drugs. Tecfidera seems to be my safest choice for now, but I was told my insurance would only cover 50% and my payment would be about $3600. I don't have that kind of money to spend every month. I'm on unemployment. I know some of the drug companies have financial assistance....has anyone had experience with the financial assistance they provide?
Avatar n tn The social services department of most hospitals can provide lists of assistance programs. I am only familiar with the drug assistance programs for those needing to treat for hepc. I wish I had more to share with you and hope some help becomes available for him soon. Best of luck.

Avatar f tn They sent me a form to fill out. Once they received my form I was approved for their financial assistance program, which covers all costs for 1 year.

Try contacting the Gilenea Go Program about financial assistance. The seem to be very accommodating! I hope it all works out for you.
