Hello All,
I have been spending a lot of time on the Net looking for programs to help with the cost of my medications. Here is a list of places that might help. Good luck.



http://www.aacpi.org/patast.htm
This site helps with pain medications. I just had my doctor apply here for help with
my morphine.


http://www.needymeds.com/
This site helps with a lot of different medications. I use this site. It has been very
helpful for getting free or discount medicines.


http://www.rxoutreach.com/vih/default.aspx
I buy some of my medicines here. This site sells generic band drugs.
This site is wonderful.


http://www.helpingpatients.org/index.cfm
This program is similar to needymeds.




Hope this information will help. I know it's very hard to be sick and have no money
for your medications.

God Bless,
Rebecca

Rebecca, I made your links clickable.

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for your post. It's good to have the various websites all listed together. Now if we get another request, we can just refer back to your post ... well, hopefully, we'll be able to find it.

I'm always drawn to your screen name since I, too, was born in '57. Such a lovely year, eh ???

Hi Cat,
I hope those web sites help someone. Yes 57 was a very good year, lol. Thanks for the reply.
Take Care,
Rebecca

I wonder if it would be possible to have these sites listed permanently as links? Hmmmm.

Hugs,

Kat

Hi Kat,
I don't know how to make links. But if someone that does can make them links, it is fine with me.
