I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and cervical degenerative disc disease. I lost my job 1 1/2 years ago because of my health. Since then I have struggled to make ends meet and had to go off all my meds because I could not afford them. My doctor has been giving me samples of Cymbalta and I have had a lot of positive results with it. My pain has decreased and I have been able to do a lot more with my 14 yr old daughter.

I’m writing in behalf of my nephew who has reached the age where he is no longer covered by his Dad’s insurance. He is currently unemployed and insulin is expensive without coverage. He also takes Effexor for depression. The family has been helping out but he needs assistance until he can get established in a full time job with health insurance benefits. Although I’m afraid he’s not going to be able to work full time. He has a hard time keeping his blood sugar levels regulated. He’s on two different kinds of insulin. The testing strips and syringes are also included in the expense of his condition. I’m looking into other options for them. I came across your website and thought I’d give it a try. Thank you for making this available for those in need.

I am 52 years old and I don’t have money to buy my medication. My husband is on disability and I have Fibromyalgia. I have applied for a Medicaid care which that did me no good. They gave me a spend-down of $370.00 a month. Before I can get any assistance, I have to pay $370.00 each month. I need my medicines so bad. I’m out of everything because I can’t afford it or to even go to the Dr. My Doctor is a specialist in Kc and my migraine medicine alone is $643.00 for twelve tubes. I need my Cymbalta bad. I have been crying all week and feel like I’m ready to snap. Please help me to be able to afford my medicine so I can get some peace. I can’t sleep and they had me on Ambien for 2 years and now I’m awake and sick. Please help me if you can. God Bless

My name is Brenda T and I live in Stonewall, MS. I don’t have any health insurance and my job where I work never had any. You see I used to work in a hospital until chemicals got in to my lungs and now I have asthma and can’t get medicine for it because I don’t have health insurance.
I also have an enlarged heart that makes me so tired, so if you all will please help me so I can get some treatments so I can live a long time. Thank you very much

I am writing this on behalf of my son Adam. He is soon to be 24 years old and has been on the receiving end of a very unfortunate situation. About 2 years ago, he was injured on the job, in that he fell off of the back of a truck and onto the claws of a Bobcat lift.

He was forced to settle about 6 months ago with workers comp for a very small amount of money, which he has literally lived on and is now out of money. He had pitiful legal representation in that they were not working in his best interest and just wanted him to settle so as to close that case, get their cut and move onto the next case. Now he is with out medical care, no insurance and cannot work. He has 3 herniated disks, a syrinx and he is clinically and medically depressed and is hopefully awaiting a second attempt to be approved for social security disability.

Meanwhile, he has been prescribed Lyrica, which helps him tremendously, and now he is soon to be out of the medication. We are desperate. We can provide the necessary medical documentation that this story has not been exaggerated. Any help will be counted as a HUGE Blessing. Sincerely,

Cappi D. on behalf of Adam D., Port Charlotte, Florida
