My friends' mother has quite a few serious illnesses that call for very strong medicines to numb the pain. My friend has called me, telling me that because they are a family in poverty, they cannot afford these meds at the time, and that he was wondering if there are any ways to help numb his mothers' pain for the time being. I bring this problem to you.

If your friends mother has serious illnesses then she needs to take the medication used to help with them. Only a doctor can tell her what to use so maybe you need to suggest them going to the local srs office and applying for health insurance. They shouldn't be embarrassed about it because there's a lot of people in this world that can't afford health insurance.

When they get on health insurance it will limit the doctors she can see but they give a variety of choices so it shouldn't be too bad. It usually pays for everything. The most she'll have to pay is maybe 3 dollars, which isn't a lot.

I do not think there is a way to numb pain with out medicine, but there are government programs to help people pay for the medicine they need that they can not afford.

I really hope everything works out and that she gets what she needs. You can also post questions like this in the main forums for other people's opinions on ways to help. Good luck.
