Q: I am left out in the cold without pain medication, and my pain is unbereable, what do I do????

I applied for medical help, I even sent many letters to inform these agencies I am left without medication to control my pain. I go through withdrawal now, and on top of that I have an unbereable pain, that takes all my energy. I can't take care of myself anymore. I need someone to help me, my husband has to work, no better job to get medical insurance thourgh his job. We barely make it, because he has to help me a lot. I am left out in the cold without medical help for long time. Social security and state agencies know my situation and still don't seem to care. I am very depressed, can't walk almost at all. I really don't understand what they really want from me? It's been long time since I applied for some missly medical help. They really wait for me to die?? I am frustrated and angry because I have a serious illness that needs medical attention very soon, a doctor told me. I feel I am getting worse, but nobody seems to care when I ask to expedite my case. I feel my days are numbered. What am I to do????? I cry every day from pain. I am really tortured, alive!! Many times I wish to die then continue suffering with this horrible pain. I feel worthless, because I can't do nothing anymore. Please, someone help me!! Here nobody takes me seriously. They make fun of me, instead of helping me.

I am really sorry to hear about this.If the problem is money to buy your pain medicine,apply for social security dissability (you will recieve medicare when approved and that has part D prescription coverage). If you have been denied,try contacting different drug companies that make pain meds.Alot of drug companies have programs that will provide you with free or reduced cost drugs,based on income,and family size.

Also alot of hospitals have clinics and you can apply for charity care for your doctor visits.Have you tried talking to your local churches?Alot of times they have people that will donate there time to help you around the house.I hope this helps.
