I don't want anyone to compromise their privacy but I earnestly need to know. I'm about to sign a lease for an apartment in Montana because I can't stand anymore heat. Winter didn't even come this year where I live.
It's really exciting to be moving to a place with cool fresh air and snow on the ground. But my big concern is medical care. People write horror stories about their MS medical care in the US, especially after a move.
Where I live now the medical care is outstanding. My neuro is very compassionate and knowledgeable about MS. I never had to be in limbo land. The dx came right away.My pain management doctor has worked miracles, my allergist is beyond wonderful and my PCP is beyond anything I could ask for. The pharmacy delivers and the hospital where I get my Tysabri, automatically reserved my favorite room in the short stay part of the hospital.,I don't have to sit up in one of those recliners. I get a bed all day and can sleep afterward, sometimes till 11:00pm.
On top of it, the hospital waives my co payment and so do my doctors. And the hardest part is the controlled substances. My PCP prescribes sleep medicine and Xanax. The pain management doctor prescribes morphine. I can endure the withdrawals. What worries me is, I have MS. I can't sleep and I have pain.
I think Montana is more conservative about these things than liberal California. I don't like suffering unnecessarily just so I can say I'm not taking drugs.
