New doctor in town

As I said I have been sick I finally broke down and went to the doc. She just opened her office last week.
It seems I have pneumonia and my asthma has been upped to severe.
The meds I need are around 75.00 a month for one and 35.00 month for the other
I have no insurance and only make 7.50 hr so I can not afford the stuff.
She is trying to set me up on a program called needymeds this can only be done by the doc
but if I am approved I will not have to pay for it. They are meds used to treat and prevent asthma attacks so I can only buy the stuff to get me better that was 20.00 today for the antibotics. I thought it was cool that she is going the extra mile to help me I have never seen a doctor do that in my life. so I wanted to share Giant hugs for the new doc.

So sorry you are not feeling well hon.
I have to say this new doc sounds wonderful! Glad she is trying to help you out.
Hope it all happens soon for you on getting the meds.
Take care and feel better hon :)
~Hugs~
Do rest up. Pneumonia is nothing to fool around with.
Let us know what happens with the meds.
Take care Mary,
xoxo

Hope you feel better soon. Hilary
Oh I'm so glad you went to a Dr. Mary and not only that, a kind helpful one willing to go the extra mile. Was it possible for her to give you any samples. Some of the meds the Drs. tried on DH, they gave him samples to help defray the terrible cost. Oh I'll say prayers you doget on the program and you fight for it too if need be.
You'll be feeling better now soon hon. :)

You take a 70 year old smoker and a 70 year old asthmatic with out meds and their lungs are the same wheezing does as much damage as smoking sure makes me glad I quit. Now if only Icould quit wheezing I have been doing it for 30 years.
>>She did want to give me samples
**She sounds like a real keeper Mary and I hope soon the vendors find her. :)
There's some wonderful meds out there for the wheezing so I'm thinking positive on the two of you finding one that works.
You already sound better Mary! :) And oh yes on quitting smoking! You rock!!
