I don't hardly know where to begin. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure 270/158 when I first went to see the Dr. While there, I found out thru a chest xray that I had pneumonia also. We have worked for 3 years to get the blood pressure acceptable, we are well on our way now.I have been diagnosed with asthma for 25 years, I use a nebulizer 4 times a day, have singular, and a rescue inhaler, plus advair, it is good sometimes, and not others. I found out 11 yrs. ago I am a diabetic, I tried pills, but now on 2 kinds of insulin. My husband had the same job for 27 years, after he medically retired, he has his own healt h problems, they raised our insurance to where we could no longer afford it as retirees. We live on a very fixed income. My husband served 6 years during the Vietnam War-4 in Navy and 2 in reserves. We sure could use some help our medicines run about 450.00 a month, sure is hard to come by, I know now about those who choose to medicate or eat. Thanks for listening. Terri
