Sorry to hear about all your problems, Gary; both health-wise and with the VA. My wife's medications are nearly in the same cost range so I can sympathize. However, without VA benefits, my own medication costs would add another 3-400/mo. to the cost. All I can say is APPEAL, NAG, AND HARASS; eventially they'll do something. Oh, and yeah, a whole bunch of health problems coming at you all at once can most definitely get you off to a bad start to your day (ask my wife ). Hope the situation improves.
