Refuse's to approve meds even after DR motivation

<p>I have Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. I have been on the Betaferon injection for 3 years. I have requested my doctor that I stop taking it as I cannot handle the marks and pain anymore, so he told me I cannot stop as I will relapse. There is a tablet form (Aubagio) of the medication I can take though. I have sent everything through and he has filled in all the paperwork and motivation for me as well. We submitted it to Medshield and now they have declined it because it is not on their medicines list. I sent them another email explining to them that the medication is specifically for MS patient ls and has been approved on the South African Medicones Council. Still they come back to me and say it's still declined as it's not on their list. The betaferon was also not on theit list so they do make exceptions. I'm not asking for both, I'm asking for a replacement. I am sick and tired of fighting for **** for a condition I did not ask for, for a condition there is no dam cure for. Yet my neurologist must try and motivate something that they; who have no idea how I feel on a daily basis or what I go through on a daily basis; just decline's anyway because they look at some stupid list which hasn't been updated in ages. It's always a fight! A battle! It's so infuriating! </p>
