Hi.....

If you search under .http://www.rxassit.com..you will be able to locate whatever drug that you might need for the pain.

There's a mail order prescription pharmacy, who charges 90-day supply for $30.00 only for my anti-seizure meds....its name is RX OUTREACH. (if I get it from regulare pharmacy, it would have cost me $160.00 )  You do need a doctors prescription for any assistance.

You could also contact your local charity organizations, like SALVATION ARMY, RED CROSS, or even some CHURCHES.

Lots luck to you.  Hang in there.

Hello deb1258,
I am sorry to hear of your situation. There are a lot of people facing your dilemma considering our economy. If I wasn't the one in my household covering my family with insurance, we would certainly be in trouble because my husband lost his job last year. I do know that Pfizer, the makers of Lyrica has a prescription insurance program for people who are uninsured. I don't know the details, but you can find them on their website:

Also, there are other things you can do over the counter, for example, small doses of Benadryl at night is great for use as a sleep aid. I used to take Doans (magnesium salicylate) for back pain and it was semi-helpful. Like babyde mentioned, heating pads and ice packs are a necessity for sure! Good luck to you.

Hi deb,
I don't know the websites off hand to give but you can google websites. I found some a few months ago. Search Free medications,  pharmacutical assistance, somthing like that. Also some of the pharmacutical companies can assist. Check who made your meds and contact them. I use a heating pad sometimes when the pain is real bad on my legs, feet, toes, hands, arms etc.. and it helps. I also use ice packs on my the bottom of my feet when they are burning. Hope you get better.
