Need help with cost of INterferon, I live in Egypt

Not in USA, I live in Alexandria, Egypt.

Diagnosed with MS, about 10 years ago, and I'm almost bankrupt.

Is there a way to get help, paying for Interferon, or getting it at discount.

Thanks,

Moose.

I'm not sure of your preferred language, but this is a link to the Egyptian MS Society's contact information. http://www.egyptianmss.org/index.php/contact
The internet browser Chrome will translate it into English for you if Arabic isn't your language.

If they operate anything like the organisations most of us deal with, they will be able to put you into contact with those who may be able to help, typically this is the pharmaceutical company who makes your drugs, although some societies may work with grants. We don't often have visitors from that area of the globe, so I don't have any real knowledge of the realities you face over there, but I wish you the very best of luck. No one, anywhere, should have to choose between treating a disease and financial ruin. All the best.

Greetings.
Have you tried posting in the MS Community?
My ex-boss treated with Interferon and it is used differently for MS than it is with Hepatitis C. Also there might be alternatives or other options they can offer on that forum that we simply have no idea about on this one.
