ennifer Parker felt like she was getting her life back.
Most of the symptoms of her mycotoxicosis, or mold poisoning, that forced the 31-year-old Somers Point resident to live in a tent in her parents' backyard last summer were going away. Living outside 24 hours a day had been the only way she could avoid the debilitating symptoms of her disease until a new drug had allowed her to move inside by late fall.
But in December, her insurance company - Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey - informed her that it would no longer pay for the medicine she credits for saving her life.
That was less than three months into a treatment that was supposed to last twice as long.
And now, just days after receiving the last of her daily doses, Parker's symptoms are starting to reappear.
