What if I told you that there is a cure for Sjogren's, it costs $75,000 dollars and would not be covered by you insurance company, would you pay for it or continue to suffer.
Epson, At my age and with all my other ailments I doubt that it would improve my life that much. Besides, if I had that much money laying around I would not be worrying about paying my health insurance premiums. Irish ;D
Dry eyes when you were a fetus, huh!!!! Nobody can get ahead of your sense of humor!!!!!!
If it had a money back guarantee, i just might be interested.
Could I use Monopoly money?? :D
Epson, I'd rob a bank if I knew for sure the cure was genuine!
I'd probably get away with it due to my age and the brainfog!
Just off to check my lottery tickets.. Dolly
YES YES YES
I'm so sure that I'm going to drop dead any day now, I'm not sure if I would spend the money ???
As soon as I paid for it, I would get hit by a truck.
In essence, I am saying if I had to use my own hard earned cash....I would not have enough.
I would sure try to come up with the money, might be homeless and naked the day of treatment, but I figure I would be healthy enough to work afterwards to buy another home and some more clothes, so YES I would go for it.
My mom used to always try to push me to take out a loan for cornea transplant, I never did because the chances of it being a success was not great enough, so I would first need to know that this procedure has helped more than say 2 people!
It sucks having an energetic mind and a old body! >:( >:( :'(
No. There are a lot worse things than Sjogren's.
for sure i can easily make that money back if i was healthy
would u take a check? ;)

Rats, I didn't read this right. Or I don't know if I did. If it would not be paid for by insurance, BUT OUR current insurance would continue to pay for treatments, I'd not spent that money. Now I was hoping you'd say "they" would give us the $75,000 and I'd take and off like a shot. Hawaii, Vegas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Cincinnatti, Alaska, you name it.
Stillsguy made me laugh out loud. How about a barter agreement?
Stillguy that was tooo funny!
Billydude you too!
sign me up. I will go sell 75,000 boxes of donuts to pay for it. Or at least after I am well, cause then I will have the energy.
susanep :)
When and where - I'd prostitute my body to pay for this ........ but only after I was cured, as I'd have so much fun making up for lost time!!!!

Would I pay for it? Nah, I'm with Lucy, point me in the direction of Alaska and such, a much better investment for me (that is in the high summer only)! :D
Monopoly money, you're too funny Bucky! :)
And Wen, hummm, you just might have a point there! ;) ;D

If I had some mild form of Sjogrens that I could live with, then 'NO", but for many of us, this isnt simply a "dry eye" and mouth thing..at this point, where chemo, etc doesnt seem to be helping, I would find a way to get the money, only if it was guaranteed though..
YES!!!!!!!!!! If it was a for sure guarantee . I would sell everything I own in order to raise the money.
When is the last time a doctor told you he was giving a money back guaranty?
Nope, Epson, never has happened, and never will........... (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sad020.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)

I guess I'm a gambler, but I'd go for it and think it was a bargain. At age 57, my avg life expectancy is at least 20 more years IF I'M HEALTHY. That would come out to $3750 per year. I would no longer need most of my prescriptions, dr appts, etc. I could breathe, digest, poop, sleep, cry, sweat, and move normally. For $10.27 cents per day, I would have a good quality of life. Count me in, Epson.
If I could divide it into payments of 3,750 per year, I would definitely do it...even if a truck hits me.
Eyeamdry,
You are welcome to come escape to my state, but I warn you, come winter, you likely will want to escape out. Summer here can not be beat....the people are lovely...good beer....good brats...good political mix....you don't have to prepay for gas.....that said, winter is 6 months long and we top out the pain index. I would say New Mexico is a good bet.
Wow, some interesting answers have brought up more interest questions. WenUK, like are there any prostitutes with Sjogren's? Must be the ones walking the streets with a pail of tube. :o
I think they are the ones with the walkers.
You've got to be kidding, if there were a documented cure for Sjogrens, I'd sell my house in a minute and move into an apartment. My husband would be fine with this. Sjogrens has completely changed my life. I manage but would love to be cured.

Have you been holding out on us? You really have found a cure??
Heck yes I'd pay for it. To be my old self again. Yes Yes Yes!!!!
harlin
The way I'm feeling today I'd be willing to leave a tip!
Just make this pain go away!
