Find out what medications you will need and research them on line. Sometimes you can find web sites that will pay all or most of your expenses. I have been able to find assistance for medications. I wish all the luck in the world and May God Bless You.

Im on Gilenya and did not have a job when I started, Medicaid was what I had for 1 year. Now employed and have employer coverage, I qualify for Gilenya co pay assistance through Gilenya. If you have medicaid, naturally, you would not qualify for their program. My Gilenya co pay is $100 a month without assistance program. Its $0 with the program. I think $6,000 is what Gilenya costs, so I wont complain too much about the $100, if I did not have co pay assistance. I think the co pay assistance only covers up to 18k a year so Ill get co pay assistance for 4 months, if im understanding correctly.

@A MyMSTeam Member in CA you must have little to no income to qualify for Medi-Cal. If they terminate you, then that would help the income qualification. Also, look into Medicaid.
The BEST to you! 😘
