Aleve Liquid

Please Help! Ive had it with Docs...?

I was just diagnosed w/Fibro by a very nice Doc Dr Wilke, I also have a slightly high SED & CRP rate, i was told. Anywho, I am in extreme pain & have no insurance. I already take, Celexa 40 mg for depression & a thyroid pill for a low thyroid. Plus take Aleve liquid gels, but they really dont help. I called the Doc & asked for Ultram, cuz it is inexpensive(i checked) & he tried to give me Cymbalta. The Cymbalta was 144 $ My dad is laid off & we r in serious debt so obviously cant afford that, so he calls in Effexor 75 mg, that is 75$ which i cant afford either. The Ultram is 14$ but he wont prescibe it. How do i get my Doc to understand that i am happy w/ my anitdeprrant but in pain. He just wont prescribe anything for pain! Im going to cry....................Does anyone have a Doc in the Cleveland Ohio area that will prescribe Ultram?????????

I am glad you got into see Dr. Wilke. My mother has gone through the same things with her doctors with the expensive meds. Have you looked into programs like PPA (the one Montel Williams is a spoke person for, putting a link below)? There are a lot of programs to help with meds, some state specific. Try doing a web search for prescription programs in your state. My mom found a program for senior citizens and all her scrips are now $7 a month, one alone was going to run $350 a month.

If you are comfortable, try to continue pushing the doctor as well. Make them see that without insurance you need to find something affordable that will make you feel human again! Good luck hon. I know how you feel, the OTC drugs like Advil do nothing for me either.
