I'm running low on Prozinc and realize that there is no way I can afford another bottle and needles at this time. I am still unemployed, and the UI check barely cover rent, let alone stuff for my cat.

I may have 2 weeks left, if that. I'm really starting to freak out that I won't be able to treat him once that bottle runs out.

He's all I got right now, so putting him down isn't an option (although many jerks have suggested I do so, since I can't afford to treat him)
 
I have a third of a vial...expy 5/11. I think it goes out further than that.
I could not pay for the postage but could find out the least expensive way to ship and pack in cold packs. If I could ship it 'if it fits it ships' could possibly be 5.20
You could paypal it to newbie kits.
Want to be helpful but am currently underwater financially and being helped by another board member.
Maybe someone would like to pay for your shipping by donating the $ to newbie kits?

and tomtom too!
 
If you don't shoot microdoses you may be able to find someone who would send you U40 syringes. I bet there are a lot of peeps who have them left over, after switching to U100s. Sorry things are so tight for you, I am in a similar boat (like 1/2 the world it seems like). It bites. I hope it improves for you & all of us soon!
 
Also keep an eye on Supply Cabinet. I always forget to look ohmygod_smile but there are often low-cost or free supplies offered there.
 
If you wish to continue with PZI you may want to look into BCP insulin. It can be less expensive.

I did a quick monthly cost breakdown here:

There is info in the PZI Sticky about sourcing both ProZinc and BCP.

You can also call Boehringer Ingelheim and ask them if they have any financial assistance programs:

Please let us know any info you get from BI if you do call them.
 
don't forget i've still got a couple hundred u-40's i'll never use, in case you want them, or if anyone wants them.

ubee, it says you are in california. may i ask whereabouts? several of us here are in cali, me, lori, joanna, etc.....so perhaps you're close enough for handing off supplies rather than shipping?
