Lost insurance coverage
I'm in the process of diagnosis. I found a job that I can manage, but now due to increased income, I lost my medicaid and won't qualify for insurance through work until I've been there a year. My symptoms are getting worse and I'm at a loss as to how I continue to complete the testing to get my diagnosis. Next is a spinal tap and brain MRI. IDK HOW i afford those. I can't afford my medications that keep me functional and I'm scared I'll lose my job. The U.S. Healthcare system really SUCKS! Idk if there's a question here or if I just need to vent because I'm just at a loss about what to do.
Research on the web regarding MS and Financial Aid. Plus, start looking into the various MS organizations in the states, like MSAA. There might be some financial aid available for those who apply. Additionally, research HSCT as a frontline therapy to stop MS in its tracks. Finally, on the suggestion from a friend, I went to a Holistic Dr recently. Although the majority of blood draw results are due in a week, one test result showed that I have off the chart Aluminum in my blood. Excess heavy metals in the brain is common with MSer’s.
