Have you applied at your local job and family services for a state medical card.The guidelines are not as strict for medical as they are for foodstamps or cash.If you can prove a medication dependancy (like for psoriasis) you are almost always approved in Ohio.

Hi! When I did not have any insurance I found a way to recieve the Enbrel shots for free based on my income directly from the people who make it (the Encourage Foundation). You will have to see a doctor to write a prescription for it. If you need more info let me know!

i know how u feel! i just now got ins (medicaid) and i know how hard it was going without my meds. texas is a crappy state when it comes to healthcare. there are no programs here to help poor people. are u eligible for medicaid or any other gov assisted ins program...u might check in to that. also some hospitals have something called an indigent program for people who cant pay. at least they do in texas....good luck!

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
