I don't pay for my meds. I get SSI. which is Supplemental Security Income. because of my panic problems, I can't work. and I had to do something to get the money, etc to pay for my meds. You should look into that.

for me, it meant going in and talking to a counselor, the social security offices, a social worker, having all of these tests done. and before I was back on my meds again... that was hell. literally. I was freaking out over everything. having to go to town to talk to all of these people, having to go in and get my state ID card, open a checking account, get my birth certificate, talk to about 12 different doctors specializing in all kinds of different fields. I have now been on SSI for 5 years, my review comes up next year. We'll see what hapepns there.

I get 435.00 a month from SSI and I have medical coupons which take care of the cost of my meds. If I didn't live with my parents, I'd get more money and food stamps as well.

I really want to try and get out on my own, so I am going to talk to the SSI people when my review comes up about that. Because they can tell me what all needs to be done, where to look for low-income housing. How my money situation, etc will change.

http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/11000.html

that link will take you to the SSI section and give you more information about it. it's definitely worth looking into.

the other meds I take everyday is Prevacid, because I have evil evil acid reflux/GERD

Oh good god, I have GERD too. I was on Aciphex and getting it for free from my college's clinic, but then I graduated. So, again, now it's just something I'm trying to cope with until I can do something about it. I'm hoping to go back to school soon (I have a boyfriend that I've been living with since before all this started, so I have someone to help me when thing get rough. I don't think I'd be able to handle all this without him.), so that'd carry with it some nice insurance and hopefully a fellowship or two, but if that doesn't all work out, I'll keep the SSI thing in mind. Thank you for the link, and thank you for telling me all of this as well. I'm really impressed by everything you've gone through. When things get tough, believe me, I'll be thinking of you as inspiration.

Ohh, it's good that you have someone to help you out. Nice boyfriend :)

I was married for awhile, but I have a lot of trust issues when it comes to men. How we managed to hang on for 6 years is beyond me. We lived more like friends than a married couple. What with my "don't touch me" all of the time. I have to give him credit, he was very patient considering. Long story short, I was raped by 2 of my neighbors on a regular basis from the age of 4 to the age of 6. It's not something I like to think about, but it's something I have to deal with on a daily basis. and I'm certain it's a big part of my panic problems. I can't help but wonder how I would be now if I hadn't gone through what I did. but on the other hand, it's made me more of a sympathetic person I think toward what others are going through or have gone through in their life. so I can't say that I'd go back and change it if given the option. other than ya know, I'd have told someone a lot sooner than the 5th grade. yeah, trust issues are a big thing with me.

and I don't mind sharing my experiences because if it helps others out, then I'm more than willing. I think it helps to talk about it.

It continues to amaze me how every single person you meet has a story. I can't even imagine how difficult that must be. I know what you mean about events, good and bad, making you who you are. It's nothing compared to what you went through in your childhood (and congratulations on telling someone eventually - I know someone who took until high school to tell about something that happened when she was 5, and it just destroyed her), but I have a lot of issues with my dad, and I know a lot of the emotional issues I face now stem from my interactions with him when I was younger. More recently, I've seen my boyfriend through chemotherapy (hopefully past tense - they think he's in remission now), and while it was awful and I wish he'd never had to go through this, I know it's made both of us appreciate just being alive every day. Both of us feeling well to enough to take a trip to Walmart or go out to lunch is worthy of celebration now. That might seem pathetic, but to me, it's great. It means I can find simple things to get happy about, which means I'm happy more often and can find joy in even dark times. The path to it has not been fun, but it's a skill I'm happy to have.

I find it helps to talk too. Really, I'm very glad you shared. I talked to a lot of doctors, nurses, hospital workers, and other chemo patients while my boyfriend was getting treatment, and I feel so much richer for having heard them. Learning other people's stories is one of the best things about life, I think.
