mama2alex Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 I'm so sorry! This is unbelievable. Are they telling you they can't get the medicine at all?? Also, what was the context of her telling you they didn't think your son could sit still for 8 hours. Was she saying they wouldn't do it at all for that reason? It's a little confusing.
thereishope Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 Oooo, if you find out they lied.....O My God .Please let us know what happens. That sounds very fishy.
EAMom Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 they cant get the gamaguard ?? btw...is there a reason that you're doing gamaguard and not gamunex?

Melanie I toldyou guys something else would happen What company are you using? Who is your insurance? I was going to go this route with Gamunex Direct and they were extraordinarily helpful. We ended up going to Chicago to have Dr K administer - and I am so glad we did, because it was so great to have him hold our hand through this. If you think going with Gamunex Direct could help you, I can give you the name of the person I was dealing with. All they need is the doctor's script and they can set up the rest - including getting approval from insurance and getting an experienced nurse who is used to dealing with children.
sf_mom Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 Charlotte Mom, have you talked with Diana Polhman at Pandasnetwork.org? I know she has been researching this for other parents. I am wondering if you could contact her if you have not and let her know your contact information. She is known as 'Diana' on this forum and you could also send her a private message.

faith Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 I was kind of thinking the same thing. perhaps it is for a reason.
nevergiveup Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 melanie, maxim home care has infusion nurses. Accepts pretty much every insurance and they just need a doc's script. They are national, have done my dd's inusions in mid west and now are doing them in the south. Caremark cvs ships product to your house, they are great.
