How can you be so flip about someone who is a chronic pain patient who has been on meds for years and lost ins

Question

lost insurance and cant afford healthcare

Answer 1

Many drug companies have plans that provide people with medications free of charge if they: 1) have no prescription insurance and 2) meet certain income criteria. Unfortunately, you do have to see your doctor to get enrolled - since they are prescription medications.

Try to find some free health clinics in your area or charity hospitals. You could call your city's division of health and human services to get you started in the right direction, or at least talk to your doctor. There are some resources available, but you will have to do some work to find them.

Answer 2

I have RSD so I know what chronic pain is all about! My circumstances don't require me to have insurance or health care but I know for a fact that drug companies will give you one year free of charge if you meet their requirements! Your doctor has to make application on your behalf!
Another source is hospitals because they have many programs for people who can't afford the care!
You may also be eligible through your local social services for low cost insurance or even full social services paid health care!
No one has to suffer and there are many programs and resources available to you! Just takes a little effort on your part to make the initial contacts where some one will be able to help or lead you in the right direction!

Answer 3

YOu must have had some awful answers to a question I am assuming. So I won't be flip. There are resources you can go to for chronic pain without insurance. Like rehab. and then get into a trial at pain medicine trials. try to google that to get results. But You must be clean of all meds before entering a trial.

Answer 4

I understand how you feel about being a chronic pain patient. I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS also known as RSD). You should try to go to a clinic or a medical place that will provide medical care at a reduced cost.

Answer 5

I am a chronic pain patient and have been for years. I have osteo-arthritis in the degenerative stages, severe, I've had surgery on my spine eight times and hand surgery twice, knees twice. I'm on drug control now.
No one....I repeat, no one, but you and me and, someone else in our shoes, knows what suffering we go through.
I'm on your side my friend and your not alone. There are pharmacies out there that you have to contact through your doctor, he can help you with the names and addresses, and in fact he has to make contact with some of them. They will furnish you with free drugs with his help. Good luck.

Answer 6

I don't know who was flip-- but it's a terrible problem. Although it's not as good as other routes, you could go through a county funded Methadone program. While methadone is typically used for heroin addiction, it is a pretty good opiate pain reliever.
