Katie,

I, have a very different Mind set, having Myasthania Gravis. We
have
to take a drug called Mestinon. What I have to pay for a Hundred
tablets
($100.00) can be purchased overseas for ($8.00

When the Gov. held hearing and decided US drug manufactures were
over
charging and put a ceiling on the profiteering, the Drug companies
licensed companies outside the US to manufacture the drug. It is no
longer manufacture in this country.

We pay &100 and my web friend in Spain pays $8. Made by the same
company.

I know this isn't the Flu Vaccine and I'm sorry to be venting but it
is
kind of related

Scott,

I take five a day. The mestinon act as a shield around my muscle
receptors. It is effective for about 3hrs, then it starts to wear off
and my immune system see the receptors as a foreign body and destroyes
them. This leaves me with a muscle that can't respond to the signals
from my brain.

I can't pick up my "Manhattan" :^) Needless to say I don't dare
singlehanding without proper medication.
