Medical debt consolidation uses different techniques to underwrite medical debt loans because since medical bills are such an unexpected expense and almost impossible to plan for it in advance (unless you have insurance), most consumers lack the income necessary to pay it back with a home equity loan. Even if they did, it very rarely makes any sense to apply for a medical bill consolidation loan for a few reasons: 1) you’re paying back the medical debt with interest; 2) the monthly payment can be higher than what even the hospitals are asking for; and 3) you’re putting your home at risk unnecessarily. This is why most consumers with overwhelming medical bills opt for bankruptcy.
Medical debt negotiation, settlement, and reduction. When medical debt negotiation and settlement works, a consumer can potentially lower the amount they owe. Medical debt reduction service offers the same convenience of a debt consolidation loan, while potentially saving more money without risking your home.
Suffering from Lupus would mean you would be in the company of Michael Jackson ("King of Pop"), Seal (singer), Flannery O'Connor, Ray Walston, Ferdinand Marcos, Charles Kuralt, Leslie Hunt.
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. As many as 90% of patients are women, usually in their 30s and 40s when it first strikes. No two cases of lupus are identical, but symptoms can include fatigue, fever, joint pain, stiffness and swelling, rashes, skin lesions, mouth sores, hair loss and chest pain. The disease can attack many internal organs, leading eventually to death.
Only three drugs are approved for treating lupus -- aspirin, the steroid prednisone and the antimalarial drug Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) -- and all were approved for treatment in the past. All can have severe side effects, including stomach bleeding from aspirin; weight gain, bruising, high blood pressure and diabetes from prednisone; and vision problems and muscle weakness for Plaquenil.
Even more powerful drugs are often used off-label for treating severe cases, including the anti-rejection drugs cyclophosphamide and azathioprene, which can have even more serious side effects.
Benlysta is a monoclonal antibody known generically as belimumab. An immune protein produced artificially, it binds to and blocks the activity of a protein called B-lymphocyte stimulator, which was discovered by the company. Elevated levels of B-lymphocyte stimulator are believed to contribute to the production of antibodies that attack the patient's own organs.
