Sorry you are suffering from BP, This is my 5th time having it and this time is the worst
thus far. I too lost my full time day job at the end of Feb 2009 and my insuarnce was
gone the very next day. I experienced an ear ache a few days prior and thought nothing of
it even though the last time I had BP,It started the same way.
Anyway,I awoke on Thursday with BP and thought what was I going to do because I had lost my
job/insurance and knew I couldn't look for employment looking like I had a Stroke etc.

The worst problem for me this time around is that I have constant pain behind my right
ear leading up into the lower part of my neck/skull and it worries me. But at any rate, Depending
on what state you are in, you should be able to go to your local health department like I
did today. Were I live they base it on a sliding scale of what your income is and then when your
done seeing the Dr they will tell you what you owe and if your unable to pay at time of service,
they will send you a bill. If your married and someone else in your house has income,Thats what
they will base it on since your unemployed. If your single and have NO income then I think
what you would pay would be little to nothing. I had to pay $43.00 for my visit today and that
included my meds.

I hope this helps and that you are able to seek treatment very soon. I hope you feel better soon.
