I can't afford my blood thinners.
Hello everyone. My name is Joseph. I'm having a horrible few months. I've lost my job. I'm almost homeless. My hateful ex made some phone calls and had my food assistance cut off. Just because she could. These things I can get by with if I have to. But I have not had any side work for a week at this point and I cannot even afford to pay the small amount of money for my medicine. It's a whole 17 dollars and change. I've asked my doctor if I could go without them long enough to find some way to make the money legitimately. I do have a bad past and it's so easy to just go do something and come up with some money but I never want to do that again. My doctor said i could have a blood clot among many other bad things. Along with having to go to the emergency room to be monitored the whole time once I start taking them to make sure I don't go away from internal bleeding or other things. I've already had a blood clot in my lung and... It's scary. I've already run out of my medicine yesterday. I would be Forever Thankful to anyone and for any help. No matter how small the amount it all adds up quickly. I really don't need a lot but to me, right now, it could have serious consequences if I don't try. I don't like to ask for help without providing some service, rake some leaves, cut some grass, replace brake pads Etc. I'm a mechanic by trade and I'm knowledgeable with anything mechanical or electronic. This is probably not any help to anyone but I'm getting anxious and scared and while typing I forgot momentarily about the ticking clock. Again anything will help. It all adds up. I would be one closer to getting my prescription filled. Thank you all for taking the time to read my post regardless if you can help or not. I Hope You Are All Having A Great Day/Night! If there is anything I can help someone with don't hesitate to reach out and ask me...I don't have a lot but I don't mind if it's something I can make happen. Even if you just need to chat sometimes. I'm not the most interesting person but if I can help I will.
