I mentioned in my last post about my meds and the crappyness I feel.<\/p>\n
Here is the reason I am on Avonex…<\/p>\n
Once a week.<\/p>\n
Plain and simple. I hate shots to begin with, let alone I can barely remember to take it once a week.<\/p>\n
I have a PPO insurance policy, and the Tysabri (which I did love by the way, forget the crap surrounding it) is a $3000 infusion, I have to pay $200 approx of that. Well my insurance gives me a $1000 out-of-pocket premium for the year (like a deductable) and with 5 infusions I would hit that and then pay NOTHING. On a Rx, that is 360 a year always, not to mention my other medical bills. Trying to figure out whats worth it.<\/p>\n
When Tysabri is released again (very soon I’m told by Biogen and Mich Inst of Neuro Disorders) I might get back on that.<\/p>\n
OR I can not take anything \ud83d\ude42 Yea right, those were the days.<\/p>\n
Last night was my first softball game since the surgery and my at bats were crap (0-3) but I play 1st and we turned about 4 or so double plays and won 2-1 in extra innings.<\/p>\n
Now on to the Gus Macker 3-on-3 basketball tourney this weekend. Plus I gotta get moving into my new house. sdehfsjdlhfsdljhflsdhoeihfds too much to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
