Hello everyone!
I'm new here. Was diagnosed with crohn's in April but probably had it for at least 4 years before that. I'm an Aussie and I am hoping to head over to Canada next year to work for 1-2 years. This is only if I can get health insurance to cover me for crohn's as I am not covered under Canadian medicare on a working holiday visa (My mum is convinced she will need to sell the house to put me up in a canadian hospital when my bowel starts to snack on itself )
Anyways my question is about meds. I'm in remission at the moment so I am off the pred (fat head persists ) I am only on salofalk at present. There is only so much I am allowed to take with me. In Aus I get 2 packs for $30 (400 tabs) I think this is only because I am an Aus citizen and this drug is on our pharmaceutical benefits scheme. Was wandering how much it costs in canada and if you think it will be more expensive if you are not a Canadian citizen. Sorry this is so long. Cheers for any advice
