Title: Can some of you help me ?
Post by: davieb on February 12, 2015, 12:30:50 PM
Hi All  :wave:

I am after a little help with something not railway related
But I have a very Dear Friend that suffers from Narcolepsy and Cataplexy
There is a Drug available that could help her with this condition
But her local NHS Have refused her this Medication 7 times now
all because of the cost implications

so if you can take a little time to sign The e-petition below I would greatly appreciate it  :thumbsup:

Thank you all for your support
It means a lot to me
And I know it will mean a lot to Jacky also  :thumbsup:

They won't even fund a 3 month trial
which if it did not work the drug company would refund the NHS  :(

Once again  :thankyousign:

:beers:

I've signed and I hope things get better.

However,after signing I was taken to the Change.org site.Last time this happened it caused me to keep getting spam wanting petitions signing.

Unless I'm mistaken,they want a subscription to pay them to send petition requests out,didn't see any mention of any financial help for the person the petition is about.

Just Signed. But like Bikeracer I was taken to another site this also happened when someone else asked me to sign about a dog being put down for no reason. I never read anything about help for the person you mention in the post.

Hi all
Just a quick update on the petition
It is now up to 6385 signatures and slowly rising

This short video was from the TV this afternoon
and it shows how Jacky spends her days at the moment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6APMlT1sQc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6APMlT1sQc)

It brings tears to my eyes when I watch it

Cheers for looking

Dave  :thumbsup:

Web page to sign is updating the server.Will try again tomorrow,Dave.
I find it quite disgusting that people are refused treatments that could save or improve their lives because of cost.
Especially when you hear things like large companies being allowed to get away with paying billions in taxes,money which would help fund these life saving drugs for so many people.

Saw the programme and wept.
Jacky has no life due to her illnesses and yet is one of the bubbliest people you could ever meet.

Fantastic news for Jacky and about time someone at last has seen sense and allowed the trial to go ahead.
