Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi Kathe, thats for answering my query.. How much mtx do you take with the Enbrel??? I am just not coping with the fatigue since increasing the mtx to 20mg, but I went on Endep at the same time so am getting conflicting answers as to which is the cause. It is very warm here at the moment and for the first time I have sore swollen feet(since 1st Jan) and in the last two days my hands are doing the same, they have woken me up continously for the past two nights which hasn't happened for a long time probably not since I started on meds. Do you have Fibro??? just wondering take care Kathe Sabetzadeh <lv2ryd@...> wrote: Hi : Yes, Enbrel is costly. I have been on it now for 4 months, and it is really helping me, along with the Mtx. I have good insurance now, and my co-pay is $30 per month. With another insurance I had previously, with a copay of $400 per month, I could not afford it. Like said, if you don't have insurance, or your copay is very high, check with the patient assistance program at Enbrel services. They may be able to help you. You can also ask your doctor to try and find a way for assistance for this medication. Good luck.
