Migraine
"I  had chronic severe migraines almost daily for 25 years.  Some things have sort of worked; most not.  Botox  made an enormous difference in my headaches.  I have been using Migranal for breakthrough headaches and life is very much better. This year, Migranal, nor its generic (which are made by the same company??), are covered under my insurance.  I have Medicare, and I receive Social Security Disability.  The generic cost is more than my whole SSD check.  MY neurologist and pharmacists are out of suggestions.  They say maybe I can ask for Patient Assistance Coverage, which almost always is only given to people who already have some kind of drug coverage. Or maybe the doctor can give me samples.  I am horrified."
