Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Good morning, I am new to the board but not to RA. I first had symptoms of it in 1998. Finally diagnosed in mid 1999. I am a 25 yr old female living in ville, FL. I have at time been so eaten up with pain and inflamation that I was in a wheelchair most of my day. I have also done so well with meds recently that I was able to jog half a mile! For the past two years I have been on Enbrel and Methotrexate which has worked perfectly for me, they were the miracle combo! Enbrel got me off prednisone which I celebrated heavily for! But now I have a new job with new insurance, that does NOT cover injectibles AT ALL. I have 3 dosed of enbrel left and can't afford to buy them without insurance ($1300 for one month). I am wondering if anyone here can give info on something other than an injectible or IV therapy. I think Remicade(which I have not tried) will fall under the injectibles clause. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help! I started a message board on several years ago for arthritis, but never thought to look here in groups. Hope everyone has the most pain free day possible!
