Wegener's Disease: May 2 Fact of the Day

FACT: The average person diagnosed with Wegener's Granulomatosis spends an average of $10,000 each year, on medication alone.

Uh, yes...you read that right. $10,000 each year.

Now, take away insurance coverage, etc., and the future looks a little less bleak. And, thank God, our insurance covers all but $15 of each of my prescriptions. But at 8 prescriptions each month, $15/month, my average amount totals:

$1,440

Per year.

Ugh.

Any photographer will tell you that $1,440 is better spent on a nice lens - definitely some L glass.

Sigh.

Oh well. Maybe some day.
