My husband and I had been thru some bad financial times so I understand. But please contact your PCP. They may be able to either give you a break on the co-pay or give you more time to pay it. Don't let a $30 problem become a larger one. If you have an infection, nothing over the counter will help. 12 years ago, my husband and I filed chapter 13. We don't exactly get the best interest rates, but our credit is pretty solid now. In 1 year, I was able to quit my job and go back to school to become a nurse. Since my husband works construction, if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid. So we had never had a regular amount of money we could depend on every month. There are only so many jobs you can work without running yourself into an early grave. Have you looked into a financial couselor or other free services like that? I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers. But please make sure you call your doctor. hugs....Sue
