    A Sad Day

    Those of you who have kids probably remember at some point jokingly saying "I can't remember life before kids." Today, as I was loading my DH in the sling and moving him in the Hoyer to the toilet, it hit me like a load if bricks - "I can't remember life before this wretched disease." And...

    Generic for Neudexta?

    Three months ago I began taking Neudexta to stop crying at the drop of a hat. At that time, my copay was $120 for a 90 day supply. I tried to refill it today. The copay has increased to more than $1000! With all the other drugs I need to take, I can’t afford to pay that amount for one pill...
