I need help with paying for medication that my husband needs that costs $150 a month and of course insurance isn't covering it. I know that Walmart has the $4 prescription plan for generic medications, but his medicine doesn't come in the generic form. Are there any other programs out there to help us?
Thanks

I have a prescription for this and
on my bottle it has warning about the possibility of causing dizziness or drowiness.
Is that only prescription?
Thanks
No, have to have prescription and
out before long. The person in the article used to work for a plastic surgeon who asked her to give it a try. They had the before and after and like Chiapet says below, her mother used and saw what longer and fuller lashes she had. I love it when prescriptions supposed to do 1 thing and then find out works for other things. The lady in article said applied at night to roots of upper and lower and she said almost ashamed to wear mascara as it accented so much and did not want to look "flashy" I guess with those long, long lashes. I am ready for my closeup though!
Well, got my prescription for my Armour
instead of the Synthroid and the dose is 90 mg now as compared to 150 mcg for the Synthroid. I am so hoping this will give some assistance in this terrible hair loss- anyone else that has a dosage like this or higher and when you were switched from another preparation did your dosage go down a little? Thanks!
Mother needs some assistance
She has way too much time on her hands and needs to MHOB.
My prescription ran out a long time SM
ago (for ADD), but I may go back to the doctor after the New Year for a refill. My life's been utter chaos since I ran out of medication a year ago. It helps me focus/stay on task--i.e., make my lines--,stay better organized, etc. (a nice side effect is the help it gives me in staying awake during the day). I was diagnosed a couple of years ago and although I've felt a little awkward about the whole situation (with doc and with pharmacist), it really does help me. I only jokingly suggested Ritalin to the OP. I know that's a medication that should not be taken lightly.
It's almost 2 a.m.! I better get to sleep as I start work in a few hours! (See? That's more than likely a major contributing factor to my symptoms...poor sleep hygiene!)
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Now this is not really assistance on a word but my daughter
tells me each time she uses the word irregardless, which I have said for years and she now tells me that is not a good word. Anyone else out there use irregardless??
could be eye strain - might need glasses or new prescription -

You chose assistance rather than working, right?
Says a lot for you.
Where I go the prescription is only good for a year - sm
so that would mean a yearly exam if you want to get new glasses, or contacts. I don't have a problem with it. Now before I had insurance I only went every couple of years, but luckily it was added to my husband's insurance 3 years ago, so now going yearly....I am 43 so on the cusp of bifocals....have been squeaking through so far but next year may not.
Financial assistance question
Does anyone know if there are state programs to help pay for doctors visits. I have never applied for this, but as an MT I have typed reports for people who can't afford doctors visits and they get help. I have not been to an OB/GYN since 2002, and find myself in a position that I have to go. Keep putting it off because I have no health insurance (only catastrophic with a 10K deductable) and I am in a one person income family. Does anyone know if there is state financial assistance available and if so could you provide me with some links so I can find more information on this.
Thanks,
Ladies, any assistance on how to treat herpes
My daughter has just sent me some information on something called Lectroject, apparently it is something that is used to inject medicine directly into the herpes blister?? Never heard of it but has anyone else. Any suggestions at all on how to treat herpes outbreak on the lips? Thanks so much!
Love Craigs List but need assistance
i read Craigs List a lot and have purchased oodles of things from shopping there but now I want to list something and do not have idea how to do. I thought maybe self--explanatory but I wanted to list under garage sale and seems like I cannot find this section. If anyone can give me some talking through, I would really appreciate. Thanks1
I also read abuse of prescription drugs.
Legal, illegal- does that really matter how it is obtained?
There is free legal assistance for cases like this (sm)
Look up Legal Aid for your area - if I find a link I will post it for you. I think you need to report what your son has told you to someone!!! Who ordered the visitation? Get in touch with that office and start from there finding out who to report it to.
So you got assistance and left it up to me and other taxpayers to pay for your kids.
Shame on you. I had children also and I took care of them. I had a housekeeper, her sister had 6 kids and she told me "she takes care of hers" as she was in a house on section 8 and got food stampes that I as a taxpayer paid for. Until you pay for everything- the taxpayers had to pay for your kids. You sat home and drew welfare, put your responsibilities off on others. Shame!
get him a prescription for Chantix. It will give him a 44% better chance of quitting. nm

Free legal assistance link - yes, start now!! sm

4th of July plans?
What is everyone planning on doing for the 4th? We will do the typical: cookout with family but this year we are trying some new receipes like turkey burgers and ostrich burgers, and then we will either set of a few fireworks or go to the park to see the professional fireworks. Either way just really going to enjoy my family even if it rains.
Plans for the weekend?
Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend? We have no big plans...may do some clothes shopping for the kids if I feel like it.
Weekend Plans
It's my husband's birthday Saturday so we're going out to dinner with friends. It's supposed to be a hot weekend so we'll spend much of the time in the pool with our daughters. We also usually have bonfires on the weekends with the neighbors/friends and/or a cookout since the weather is so beautiful.
Weekend Plans
Saturday we're going to the Zoo. One of the elephants is having a 40th birthday party celebration there. And Sunday the family's driving about an hour away to go visit my parents.
Weekend plans
We're going to finish school shopping and then on Sunday we're going back to the NYS Fair to see the American Idol concert and Monday probably a cookout with our friends.
Ask her how she plans to pay for his tickets
Some ego she's got to think her kid's graduation is so important that other families need to inconvenience themselves for it. I suppose she expects a gift on top of the 2 grand? Tell her to pay for the tickets and I bet her tune will change quickly!
Valentine's plans?
Well, I just got my son a few things off e bay for webkinz (secret codes intact), got my husband a coupon book to put in a card (the ones that say the "special" things to do that he can redeem, you know those). So, I'm done for valentine day. Otherwise, can't stand the idea of the day. Here I am crabbing again, like around Christmas. Valentine's day and New Year's Eve, waste of time to me. The only thing I like about Valentine's day are the sales on candy the day after to stock up for Easter LOL (not the obvious hearts, but you know). Anybody doing anything good or have plans for that day, or do you all feel like me "greeting card holiday." 
Do you have plans for Valentines Day?
Do you do anything special for Valentines Day? If so, what sort of things do you do for your spouse/SO? Do you buy gifts? cards? Cook for him/her? What sort of things does your honey do for you?
I usually make something, sometimes a meal, and sometimes just some kind of special dessert, and I always get him a card. He's soooo hard to buy gifts for so I don't usually get a gift for him.
Most times DH takes me out to dinner. He always gives me a card, and sometimes a gift. In the past it has been anything from a box of candy and stuffed bear, to a diamond necklace. He's a very romantic person, much more than I am!
Plans for the Summer
One of the weeks in July my daughter's friend is coming up from Florida to spend the week. We plan on going on day trips to a water park, the beach, ect. Hopefully in late July or August our family and our best friends' family are going to go to the Jersey Shore or Maine (we haven't decided yet). We had planned on a bigger vacation to Florida, Mexico or a cruise, but the money held us back this year.
Easter Plans
Going to my parents an hour away as usual. We're having pork roast and all the trimmings. Unfortunately, a sad time too. My aunt passed away this past week and my cousins are bringing her back for burial the day after Easter.
Plans vary according to where you live...sm
check your local paper for ads. You need to figure out how much you'd use a phone and use that for shopping the networks. You can also check with your phone company and cable company as sometimes they have special pricing available with a cell phone carrier that can save you $5-10 a month. Be sure to read the small print. For example, Verizon advertises you can get up to 4 free phones with an account; however, the "mice print" states that there's a 2 year commitment for each phone that is purchased. Therefore you might end up paying for the additional service that you wouldn't use if you have kids close to moving out on their own.
Good luck!
do not make plans with her again; if she asks why,
nm
Because he is making vacation plans
with a guy, not his wife. That sounds like a guy who has no interest in vacationing with his wife. A man's wife should always be who he thinks of when he thinks of vacation. Not that he can never take a trip or vacation without her, but he should take his thoughts to her, not just announce it as if she is just the help.
Something is very wrong here.
shortandsimple; Sorry I have Plans And Cannot Accommdate You.

Well they do get rated up if they buy individual plans (nm)

Vacation plans finalized...sm
Friend and I finalized plans to go to Maine for vacation in the summer and Disney World near Christmas. Have never been to Maine, so I am very excited about that. Disney is more for my friend, but since I usually only get to see her once a year, I am really excited about that trip, too. 
Not make definite plans ....
Third grandbaby is due any day.
It makes it hard to have other plans, but drama is
She's only a teenager once, and there's only one spring drama performance? How many weeks could this last? I wouldn't sweat it too much. We love to go "up-to-bat" for our children, but we need to pick our battles. If she is a teenager, you do not want to give the impression that you are not supportive. We found the same thing happening with baseball practice for our son last year, so we just planned on the "not knowing". He'll only play baseball for a few months, and then it's over :( Hang in there, she'll be driving herself soon... YIKES! I don't even want to think about that. Be glad she's involved in drama and not "other things"..... if you know what I mean... Good luck on the performance. I'm sure she'll make you proud! 
keep suggestions, ideas, plans out of her ear range.

Even tho it is 6 weeks in advance you had already made your plans sm
and your parents need to honor them. Either they go with you, stay at your place alone for a few hours or they stay at their own house and come another time. Holidays are all about traditions - if they change the rules they need to be able to ride out the wave.
Tell Us ABout Yer Super Bowl Plans this Year.
what are you doing? Making? Will ya be on your own or having peeps over?
oops .. Not making definite plans (NM)

My Boyfriend and I made our vacation plans last night
My Boyfriend and I made our vacation plans last night, we decided to go to a local beach (well, its 4hrs away) but have decided to make it a romantic one (close your eyes sis) So instead of spending money on gas and cheap hotels on our first vacation plan (minnesota) we decided to spend the money by going somewhere local on nice hotel rooms. One room offers a Romantic package which includes Bubble bath, Champaine (we don't drink, but one day wont hurt us) and a few other stuff to pamper yourself's with. My family and I used to go to this beach/town every summer and I haven't been there in a few years so I am really looking foward to going, plus he has never been there before so it will be really fun showing him where to go and where to eat.
Ok, here is the hard part. We are going to the beach..which we try to go at least once a month (our usual spot is 2hrs away) but this time it's different, we will be spending 2 weeks there and I want to be able to wear a bathing suit (or at least shorts and a tanktop).....so I need to get my butt into shape....This is where all of you come in (if you are willing to help) I need advice, inspiration, tips, reciepes, workout tips, prayers anything that will help me lose weight! Our trip is in August and I want to lose 50lbs I realize that's a short amount of time and a lot of weight so I am making a mini goal of 30lbs.
Any exciting plans for the upcoming holiday weekend? nm
ask how long she plans to stay as you need help cleaning out the attic or some
yuck job...
maybe?
"selfish jerk", as you call him, AGREED to help, DESPITE his plans.

After talking about summer plans down below, I was wondering what some do with their pets
when they go on vacation? I have thought about the kennel for my dog, but she's so spoiled and loves people. I just worry she'll be so upset at being at the kennel. My mom will take her, but they put there dogs outdoors in little fenced in kennels for each dog with a dog house, food, and water and then they let them out twice a day to run. I just don't think my baby can handle that either. She needs to be indoors at night close to people.
Went to see one in Mt. Juliet, TN. She was fantastic, told me I was moving (no plans at that time),
marriage would last--missed that 1 by 2 years, but pretty close. She hit my girlfriend exactly - initials of BF, etc.
simply make up an excuse of having other plans and override her boldness

Anyone have plans for the Superbowl? Staying home, going to friends, making food,
