Nice to finally meet you. I met Debby through a post quite a while back, when she was having trouble getting her insurance to cover Imitrex.
After many letters to her, her doctors and insurance company things started to come together.
I wrote everyone in South Africa and you were the one who stepped up to help. Debby had told me about you, and now I can finally say thank you for being such a huge help.
Debby mentioned "the treatment", but I never fully got a grasp on just what that entailed.
You mentioned that the hospital that helped her last time is far away. Do you know why she can't go again? Is it financial reasons, or maybe that she just can't travel now? I know she has young ones and I heard she just had another baby, is this a factor in why she can't get there? I'm just guessing, but I know this treatment helped her last cycle and am wondering if there is anything more we can do? Be more than happy to help if I can.
Can you explain this treatment thing, Debby wrote me about it, but she sent a lot of e-mails in html formats and they were very tough to try to decode :)
Thanks again for being there for her, my prayers are with her and you,
Dave
