You can still donate until November 24th. Just visit the link. http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TRC/Walk/TXHWalkEvents?pg=peditor&fr_id=14611&px=6864140No amount is too small. The money that is raised helps with research and also helps provide people that need assistance with equipment and other necessities.
Jerry and I went to a dinner on Tuesday evening where my neurologist was speaking. We learned some new things about research and about medications. Some things were good and some where not so good. The one thing that I am fearing right now is the cost of medication. I have been on a program with no copay for my medication because my insurance will not cover it but I am not sure how much longer that will last. All MS medication is very expensive. My medication costs about $35,000 a year and the new oral drug that came out is $50,000 a year. We are not sure what will happen when insurance and drug companies decide not to help pay for these anymore. I am not sure about you but I can't afford $35,000 a year for one medication on top of all the other medical expenses.
