We are not left with much at the end of the month, and for a family that is hard. It is sad when a special, rare night out consists of going to Whataburger- and even then we can only afford to order junior meals.
I worry for the future, as I’m not sure the coupons or samples will last forever.
I have a hard time paying for my inhaler, and because I have to skip doses, it is harder for me to breathe.
I’m suddenly being asked to pay almost $500 for the Trelegy Ellipta. This is a shocking amount, and one I simply cannot afford.

I had no choice but to stop taking it –– I don’t have $800 a month to spend on one medication.
This cost was unsustainable to the point that my son created a GoFundme page to help offset the financial burden.
When I went to fill my prescription, I was told that it would be $300 for a pack of two inhalers. Who can afford that?
Patients For Affordable Drugs is the only independent national patient organization focused exclusively on achieving policy changes to lower the price of prescription drugs.
