Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hi I did Kineret injections for 5 months with unfortunately no success. I do not know if there is much success with it. I have Medicare which does not pay for it, and so I asked Amgen the makers of Kineret to apply to their patient assistance program. As a result I received the medication and injector free of charge. I believe it usually runs about $1000.00 per month otherwise. Can't help but wonder if they know enough about what side effects these new meds leave us with?? Hope that helps Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Ok thanks guys...I think I will stick with achy joints LOL. I only took Enbrel for 6 months and didn't notice any changes aside from my bank account dwindling. I guess I need to live with the fact that I am most likely always going to be achy and crackling. One can always hope to run a marathon can't they? If only I could have done that before RA set in Shandi In a message dated 8/29/2002 10:23:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time, kringlemom@... writes: > i know this question all too well too after remicade, surgery, and infection > > after infection. enbrel was the same with uri over and over. they finally > had me stop in fear of sepsis. kathy in il Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
