johntdyeron Most Expensive Drugs in the U.S.

Yea, well Myasthenia Gravis is not terminal, so I’ll likely be on Solaris for the next 30-40 years… so $28,000,000 USD :(

johntdyeron Most Expensive Drugs in the U.S.

Well… Because my doctor prescribed it and said it’s necessary, and as it turns out it was…. I’m just thankful that I have good insurance…

Yep, I can’t testify personally that Solaris is a treatment , not a cure

johntdyeron Most Expensive Drugs in the U.S.

So fwiw I take Solaris every two weeks to treat Myasthenia Gravis and it probably saved my life. It’s an auto immune disease that causes voluntary muscles to quickly tire, and you would be surprised what actually qualifies at voluntary, eg your diaphragm…. So yea, these drugs may be unaffordable and that needs to change , but they do save lives.

johntdyeron Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate and from what?

I am a Google apps reseller and have a few customers. My customers get the accounts for a small discount then what they would direct and I make a small margin. Right now the total on that is about 1200 a year. I pretty much use that as a "toy slush fund" and use it to buy geeky stuff without getting in trouble from the boss ( wife ).

johntdyeron Ask HN: Your preferred cloud API for voice/SMS and why?

Definitely biased here, since I work for Voxeo Labs, but Tropo is free for development, supports SIP, SMS, Shortcodes, TFN's ITFN's, ect. We also have great support ( 24/7 ) and fantastic documentation. Our product is also available on premise, should you want to go that route. It is also being deployed into many large carrier clouds, such as AT&T, Deutsch Telekom, ect.

I wouldn't call it white labeling Tropo exactly, especially since AT&T is clearly stating that it's Call Control API is powered by Tropo.
