I looked up the medication you are on. Immune suppression can be a side effect and for me that is something I just cannot have. It is a rare chance that it would be an issue but there is still a chance and I really do not want to have to get sick with something since I will never spend another night in a prison (hospital) again.
When I say unfavorable assistance I mean not as great as what I have now. Shared solutions covers 100% of my medicine. I do not see how anyone can afford hundreds of dollars a month for medicine. As for long term considerations I am considering how immune suppression would hurt my career long term. I am thinking about how having to ask off all the time for hospital visits for transfusions would hurt my ability to keep this a secret (and my ability to work since I will not work if people know about this). (Or how I would explain hair loss to my coworkers)
As I have said I do plan to talk to my new neurologist about switching meds but I have a no immune suppression and 100% co pay assistance as two requirements that I will not negotiate on. I have several lesser ones… my old neuro said Copaxone was the one that fit everything I wanted best.
