I am sorry that your son needs this medication and you are having difficulty paying for his treatments. I don't understand why your insurer won't cover the cost. If your son has been dx'd with Crohns, there must be some other factors involved.


All I can suggest is talking with your doctor and seeing if he can work something out through the drug manufacturer.


I was going to suggest posting at the Crohns & Colitis board, but see that you've already been there.
