Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi Shandi, I have tried Kineret. Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to it. I had huge red welts and had to discontinue after a couple of weeks. Good Luck Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Shandi, I also was on Kineret for 2 mo. I had a reaction from it on my legs (uncomfortable) they have a super support team and I called them about the reaction and was told it is normal. I could tell that it did any good at all so the doctor took me off of it. Sorry I can't be of any help. in WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Shandi, I have medicare, but it does not cover prescriptions, so kineret wouldn¹t be covered. I believe medicare covers remicade because it must be done in a doctor¹s office. Here is more information about it: http://www.remicade-ra.com/a_remicade_for_ra/a5.html Hope this helps. a > Has anyone had success with Kineret? > > My doctor wants to try me on it.
