Mom and I went to see SICKO tonight and it is another great piece of work from Mr Moore. He shows how universal healthcare could make this such a better nation. He shows how it is done in the UK, Canada, and France--and it works!
Go see this movie!
Then let's figure out how to vote for somebody who gives a damn to make this happen. We've been hijacked by insurance companies who have bought our politicians. It's so sad, and it doesn't have to be this way.
It just reinforced my lesson earlier in the day. I was speaking with my pharmacist about a different solution for my nausea. I did Compazine and Promethazine last week with mixed results (see Ralph below). It had been suggested that I try Kytril. When I asked her how much they were she told me 20 pills would cost me $600!
My social worker put in an application to see if I can get some help from the drug company. I should find out tomorrow how that will work out.

gasp! $600 ?!?
btw, my sociology prof just emailed about SICKO and highly recommends it, too.
Is acupuncture/pressure something worth trying for nausea help?
RJ,
Sorry to hear your anti-nausea meds aren't working. I was given a great little cocktail, a formulary Rx they put together at People's Pharmacy, labeled ABH, Ativan/Benadryl/Haldol. It about put me in a coma, but I wasn't barfing.
Good luck,
Britt
