I Am Worried About My Health

I have a 1/4" cyst in the left side of my brain, I have juvenile osteoporosis which has resulted in 7 badly compressed vertebrae and severe kaiphosis. Canada's "free" health care was happy to diagnose but there is no coverage for any of my prescriptions. The cheapest apartments cost me my entire income so not only do I suffer pain and mobility problems but I can barely afford to eat at all, let alone utilize a bone "savvy" diet. I had such a terrible migraine all night because my spine got overworked the last few days. I have no helpers and cannot afford any.

@trackboy They do not cover all medications. They cover doctor and hospital visits and some prescriptions.
