Guest guest Posted September 5, 2000 Report Share Posted September 5, 2000 Marty Isn't is amazing how tough our loved ones try to be when going through what they are having to deal with. I don't know if I could handle it like your wife and my husband have. Will be thinking good thoughts for the test in October she is to have. Thanks for the update.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Dear Connie, That is WONDERFUL news! I never would have thought diabetes would be a blessing, but in your case it may have been - it sent you to this doctor, who sounds wonderful. Have you or the doctor tried contacting the head offices of the labs? Just a thought, since all the drug companies have some sort of program to help provide medications to those who can't pay, maybe the labs (often owned by the same companies as the drug mfg.) have some sort of program too. It's a long shot, I know. There wouldn't be the same motivation for the labs to help as there is for the drug companies. What is happening with your legal issues? Any progress there?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2001 Report Share Posted January 5, 2001 Dear Claudine, Good idea! About the Labs, there is a Kline one here. Nothing new on legal issues. I hope to hear a positive reply from SS soon. I am not sure how sick I have to be till they consider it sick enough...lol......He is a great Dr., has beed a long time since I have seen one like him. They are a group that is becoming extinct. We have one here also, Doc Thanks again Claudine....Take Care, Connie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 I hope that all continues to go well for you and your treatment, especially with the side effects. I know how difficult it is to mentally and physically function when you do have side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
