We were at our local Childrens hospital last night to have a very large one drained. She was on Zyvox during Thanksgiving and we were free of abscesses for 3 weeks. That is the longest she has gone without having one. We have seen an Infectious Disease doctor that doesn't offer us much hope in getting these to go away.
Plan and simple I switched my insurance and now I am finding some medications are not affordable.I am looking for financial assistance, I am on a very limited income. It's disability.
his symptoms returned immediately when the antibiotics were finished. This resulted in 2 debridement surgeries where all the hardware was removed. He was on 6 weeks of IV Vanco and Rifampin which seem to end the infection. 6 weeks ago the went back in to redo the spinal fusion as his scoliosis was still severe and he had become very kyphotic well into his lumbar spine.
s and one surgery for a port ( my veins were shot) as well as a round of Zyvox pills ($82.00 a pill or $1600.00), I still tested positive. As luck and God would have it, I had been taking amoxicillian before all this happened so I thought "why not finish it, nothing else has worked". I knew when I took the amox, I had started to feel better. I talked my local PA into putting me on 8 weeks of it and low and behold, I have tested negative 2x.
I started by calling the pharmaceutical company to inquire about assistance, but they have canceled their Provigil assistance program and also told me that depression is one of the few illnesses for which they do not provide assistance anyway. I then looked into other assistance programs, but they require enrollees to be without insurance, and giving up my health insurance is just not practical.
I picked up VRE while in the hospital which was treated with 14 days of IV Zyvox. The VRE came back, in my urine, and I was hospitalized again last week and put back on Zyvox (oral this time). I am also on IV clindamycin and azithromycin, and a long list of other medications. While in the hospital they did daily blood work, of course, and my results have gotten progressively worse. They told me to follow up with my pcp, but my pcp is pretty much useless.
My Mom was diagnosed about 10 years ago with MS. She was on medication for about 4 of those years until my Dad lost his insurance and the Medication became to expensive. She has Relapse Remitting MS and I can tell she's starting a relapse. I need to get her into a DR and back on some medication, is there any resources you know of that will help me in discounting the cost? I love my Mom dearly and hate to see her suffer when I know that there is something that might help.
Thanks in advance!
I live in okc and am looking for medical assistance for hep c and I do not have insurance
You are listed as living in Toronto. Are you a Canadian citizen? It is my understanding that Canadians diagnosed with MS receive disease modifiers through their national health care network. We have quite a few Canadian members. I hope one of them steps forward to advise you.
To find out how to apply for medication assistance from the RECKITT BENCKISER patient assistance program, register for free use of the RxAssist.org database.
the cultures and urine showed Staphylococcus epidermidis which was treated with success with vanc and zyvox. i know S. epi. is a common skin flora but i am confused as to how i was infected. Any insight?
I was working with Shared Solutions and their medication assistance only to be told that I was inelidgeable for the assistance. When I asked the med assistance company why there only response was "your information was input into the computer and the computer generated the response that you do not meet the elidgeability requirements. So, my insurance won't cover the Copaxone and the medication assistance program doesn't feel that I deserve their assistance... what next?!
Shortly before an unrelated insurance company change I received notification that the medication would not be covered anymore. We changed companies and the new company did not cover it either. I am in the appeal process at this time. I just received a denial for the first appeal.
You can call the manufacturers at the following numbers; they provide patient assistance to those that can’t afford them, provided they fit the income parameters:
Pegassist (Roche Pegasys system): 1-877-734-2797
Commitment to Care (Schering- Plough PEG-Intron system): 1-800-521-7157
• The Sovaldi Co-pay Coupon Program, which provides co-pay assistance for eligible patients with private insurance who need assistance paying for out-of-pocket medication costs. Most patients will pay no more than $5 per co-pay. Co-pay assistance can also be applied toward deductibles and co-insurance obligations.
