Hey guys,
So I'm starting this thread because the core group of us are getting older, which sucks major ass.
I made mention a few weeks ago about a chronic disease I was diagnosed with. It's not contagious, it's not life threatening, but it is chronic, very painful, and takes a major toll on your overall health. So... I have Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a chronic skin disease that is extremely painful and has no cure, and extremely limited treatments options.
There is a better treatment that just came out a few years ago, Humira, that has been good, but it's super expensive. Hoping I don't get to that level.
I know this is a new kind of openness thread but I am tired of hiding this kind of thing.

https://www.hsconnect.org/So, my insurance doesn’t cover name brand drugs. My daughters neurologist prescribed her a medication that doesn’t have a generic yet. He gave me a coupon for 50% off. Take it in to be filled and the pharmacy says that will it be $537. Oh, but I have a coupon and they tell me that’s the price after the coupon.
So, the drug company has some program you can enroll in for discounted pricing. So, I ended up getting it for $340. So, $340 a month every month, forever.

I was recently diagnosed with a pretty rare disease. I’m fine but it’s a chronic condition that could get worse over time, and there is no cure. I started the first kind of treatment for it, but if this doesn’t work there is a much better treatment, and really the only treatment. It’s $20k a year…..
