Inspiring photos of progress

"Linda J, if you are AU, a vacuum wig would be awesome. When I was AU, I started getting vacuum wigs from NewLife Hair. I could feel secure riding a motorcycle, swimming or anything. Since I started using Xeljanz, I've grown too much hair for…"
"Hello everyone! I love seeing the progress some are having. I was gettting my tofacinix from Bangladesh. I would just email Mouree, they would email me an invoice, I'd then send money through Transwise ( now just callled Wise), email proof of…"
"Sukriti,
Congrats on getting your order! How long ago did you order? I placed an order with Beacon in late March right before the Covid shutdown. The latest I heard from Mouree was that they would start shipping again on July 15, but still nothing.…"
"Will I get an email before Beacon ships my meds, or will they just show up?"
"I finally heard from Mouree today. She said that EMS will begin shipping on July 15, and I will get my meds soon. Of course, she thought they would start shipping in May and then June. I just hope this newest email is correct."
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for finding this source. I never want to be at the mercy of any insurance company again! As soon as I ordered from Beacon, they shut down. Someone on here loaned me two boxes, which was incredibly unselfish and kind, but I ended up…"
"I would be interested in ordering from Venkat Pharma also since Beacon still seems to be at a stand still. Can you please share the process you followed to order?Thank you so much!"
"The only place I could find to add the invoice number was a section for a message to Beacon. It said it was for an email only. I don't know if it helped with my order or not. I have not received my order yet. "
"Dip, They told me that they are only in M-Th, so maybe they haven't had time yet. Good luck!"
"Thank you, Kevin! I was able to place my order today."
"Thank you so much,Frida! I have placed an order with Beacon and I received 2 boxes that Nat was kind enough to send me to keep me until it arrives.Such a relief! You all are such good people! I thank God that I found this site years ago. "

Merry,
Thank you so much for replying and letting me know how things are going with the Orencia. It's great to hear that you're seeing improvement! It also gives me some hope. I went to NY in July to sign up for the AA Registry and I spoke with the investigators there - they sounded pretty optimistic about Orencia. They also said that they'll be starting a trial for a promising new topical.
I am so sorry to read about your struggles. My thoughts are prayers are with you on this journey and I wish us both the best in our quest. Please let me know how you do with the Orencia. Best of luck to you too!
