Thank you so very much for being available to help not only me, but also the people with serious chronic diseases that require expensive medication. The grant from the HealthWell Foundation has relieved a lot of the worry and stress of knowing whether or not I will be getting treatment this year. I feel so blessed knowing I was awarded the grant for copay assistance. My journey with multiple sclerosis (MS) began with a diagnosis on September 11, 2001. In 2006, I was diagnosed with Common Variable Immuno-Deficiency (C.V.I.D.). What this means is that I do not have a strong, healthy immune system. Medication utilized to treat MS will weaken the immune system. I cannot use just any medication to treat MS, I can only use one drug that works only on the brain and not the whole body. In 2018, finding copay assistance for my medication became urgent when I developed a seizure disorder secondary to my MS. My medication has gone up in price at least $3,000 over the past three years. Again, thank you so very much for the grant. I not only consider it a blessing, but also a miracle. Thank you!VIRGINIA C.San Angelo, TXMS Grant Recipient'
