    Hello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!

     

    Health care in this country really needs to be addressed. I'm not sure about this, but you could check with the drug company who makes one of your drugs?

    I had the same problem with Cigna and racked up credit card debt. Finally from all the missed work and my constant complaining of the injustice of Cigna (and fortunately my boss's wife is a migrane sufferer as bad as me and she was taking nuttys at the pharmacy) we went back to HMO Blue.
