Insurance-

[mo222]

Our Insurance wont pay for the meds...sighs none of it...

Even if we go for the best one my dh company offers....

Betaseron costs between 22,000 and 33,000 dollars a year--http://ms.about.com/od/treatments/a/betaseron_2.htm

HAHAHAH Oh that just cracks me up....RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- i have that kind of money in my back pocket...- ridiculous..

I guess the doc can petition the insurance company  and  ask them to cover it...I think that's going to work like pigs fly..

the only difference between meds-the % of effectiveness are about the same...- As far as my hours of searching for info is..that  its either that im in the Secondary  stage  or he wants to it get it into you system faster-  the others can  take up to 6 weeks to get fully into the system...

---I  guess call the doc in the AM and see if he has actually petitioned an insurance company and been successful...-

My dh is sooo freakin out...

more emotional stuff..i keep telling him its not like I'm going to drop dead  any time soon... He likes to take care of everything for me- He puts so much stress on himself- He thinks its his job to make it right- Which its not... Things will be fine-  i ask him to have faith that God will walk us on the path he wants us to take- He's not really a God person... its science -not God running the show....... 

- I hate when hes sad ...Of all of this i have not been sad ..... Its more of a what is it going to take to move forward...- but watching him be sad..... ugh its just really hard to watch...

My eye is still not 100%- its like looking through tinted glass -Not totally dark which is good-   Im down to one pill a day for 2  more days and im done- The inflammation must be gone by now.. So whats the deal- grrrrr

its been um a week with no diet pop- UGH- i want a pop dang it all...but no no no//it is for sure something i can live without..

Cigarette Smoking And MS

In addition to the well-known hazards of smoking, research now suggests that the dangerous habit causes a more rapid progression of multiple sclerosis.

The new findings are from a study that included 1,465 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, average age 42, who had had MS for an average of 9.4 years. There were 257 current smokers, 428 past smokers and 780 participants who had never smoked.

At the start of the study, current smokers had significantly more severe disease and were also more likely to have primary progressive MS (a steady decline in health status), rather than relapsing-remitting MS (alternating periods with and without symptoms).

.."The conversion from relapsing-remitting MS to secondary progressive MS occurred faster in current smokers .

There may be a direct link between smoking cigarettes and brain damage, according to a new study from the Indian National Brain Research Center. Science Daily reports that researchers Debapriya Ghosh and Dr. Anirban Basu have found that a compound in tobacco provokes white blood cells in the central nervous system to attack healthy cells, leading to severe neurological damage.http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=show&pageid=2873&CFID=2430766&CFTOKEN=20980986
