Since you know "All they need to do is write a prescription for a stronger dose or double the amount of pills she is now taking." <br />You can also find a rheumatolagist in Mexico that will be easier to convince that you are right. They don't face the malpractice threat that USA doctors are under and are more willing to let the patient decide how they will be treated. <br />" I guess if you want something done right you either have to do it yourself or find the someone who will do it your way." That will be much easier done in Mexico!

I know you don't have a passport or passcard or for that matter care to cross over to Mexico...but it might be worth it to be able to buy the dosage of medication she requires and for at least 80 percent less.<br /><br />You can bring back 3 months worth and do not need a prescription or if Mexican law requires one they have doctors in almost all pharmacies that will write you one for about $5.00 US dollars.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-25945560925117671402013-07-19T19:59:28.301-05:002013-07-19T19:59:28.301-05:00Probably the best answer.Probably the best answer.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-24371914693458099732013-07-19T17:08:08.641-05:002013-07-19T17:08:08.641-05:00The Odd Essy, My wife said to type in "ANA&qu...The Odd Essy, My wife said to type in "ANA" and it would explain it.

Just take one day at a time and do as much research into getting the right help that you need. Have a lovely weekend.

It was over $1000/month for mine when I dropped it, and I'm told it went up since. I'm feeling great, so that's working for me. Spending my money on good food and getting exercise.

What they charge for those tests (knowing they will only get a fraction of the cost reimbursed from insurance) is a crime. I am covered and don't have to pay out of pocket, but the medical field tries to rob the Govt when possible, just making it more difficult for people with no supplemental insurance to get the care they need. I hate the system. And the doctors are owned and run by the drug companies.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
