I am so sorry . Here in NY, which everyone thinks is welfare heaven, my

friend has Chrone's disease BAD and cannot afford her meds. She doesn't

qualify for assistance and the med is over $300 per month.

In the meantime, she can't work cause she is sick.

I am pretty " system " savvy and am trying to get her on disability-anohter

LONG, DISCOURAGING process....

Thanks for the info . I have looked into this before.. but ALL of

these programs require prescriptions... and it's the thousand or more for

the doc and labs that is the major hurdle.. the meds themselves are

relatively inexpensive... but in this crummy state I can't get medical

assistance for thyroid... it's not considered important enough, it's more

important the funding goes to drug addicts, alcoholics and women that pop

out babies for the money or lack of responsibility.. us taxpayers aren't

eligible..... (sorry, pet peeve of mine... one lady told me that I had to

So you know where I'm coming from.... I'm pulling out of this... but it's

taken years.... and if they would have help right away.. instead of going

with out meds... I'd not have gotten so sick... but... on the bright

side.. I'd still be on synthetics going that route.. I never would have

learned what I have about naturals and all the other supplements that

have helped so much....
