@hazelblumberg. Wow, $299 w/another $99 at 6 months seems VERY expensive. In California my Skype doctor appointment cost $45.00, and the yearly renewal is $45. Be sure you're not being ripped off. I know Florida is different from California but that seems a lot different. I live in Southern California. Good luck. Gail B Ledesma

No, alas, that is the cost. That's what my friends pay, and that's what appears in the web pages regarding MM. Florida is the epicenter of pill mills and pill mill doctors--and every other scam you can think of--so the government is wary and hence going to make it as difficult and expensive as possible to get MM. California is a beacon of light. Florida, alas, is not.

I established a login a while ago. My login isn't recognized anymore. How can I change it?Thank you 

@hazelblumberg. LOL, I too feel that California is a beacon of light. I feel so lucky to be living here again. My husband and I moved to northwestern Missouri close to where I was born in 1999, and lived there for 16 years. We opened a restaurant and Bed & Breakfast in an Amish community. The town had 530 people; quite a difference from Silicon Valley where we had been living for 20 yrs in the SF bay area. We wanted to get out of the rat race and constant stress, and we certainly did. However, we are both very progressive people and after awhile it became harder to live there,and stress returned. Then I got the opportunity to consult at a hospital in the high desert in California. We sold the inn to a young Amish woman and moved. When the assignment ended, my stepdaughter, who lives in southern California asked us to live with her and help with her last 2 teenagers (7children total). We decided to take her up her offer and are so happy we did. California values are much closer to our values. My husband was born in LA in 1945, so this is his home. There are many things to do here that help relieve and distract from chronic pain. We feel very lucky to be back here in the beacon of light.

Thanks, Gail B Ledesma
