I have found that when insurance is used, the price almost doubles if not triples. Some insurance carriers will not cover it unless it is done in a hospital setting which drives up the price. When looking at the procedure with or without insurance, one needs to compare the total out of pocket expenses.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 , I've been on Enbrel for a little over three years now, and I love it! It controls my pain and inflammation very well. I can't take methotrexate with it to help it out, because mtx lowers my white cell count too much. But the Enbrel does the trick for me. Since my insurance company put Celebrex on their highest tier with a $50 co-pay, I switched from that to arthritis-strength Tylenol. I have some Tramadol to take as needed, but I don't need it very often. I use the 25mg Enbrel that is injected twice a week. I tried the 50mg that is injected once a week, but found that it didn't last as well for me. I have been lucky not to have frequent infections, in spite of the fact that my white blood cell count runs low normal. I hope that Enbrel works as well for you as it does for me. Remember that it might take a while to take effect. Let us know how it goes. Sue On Friday, April 27, 2007, at 11:02 PM, Pou wrote: > Sue: > > My rheumy is going to start me on Enbrel.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi , Thanks for your reply. I'm glad your son is starting to feel better. We're just trying to get well enough to go back to school (before I lose my mind!). We'll have to wait on any plans for California until he's well enough to get off the couch! You mention your son being on an anti-viral. It's probably just a coincidence, but last year my son got a really bad case of the flu and ended up in the ER with trouble breathing. He took Tamiflu and had the best week of his life after taking it. That is what actually led me to the site. Does your insurance cover all the lab work you need here in Colorado? We have a big deductible before anything is covered, but has been so sick that we'll probably be through the deductible in another month. There goes the budget! By the way, our ENT thinks my son's ear pain is due to TMJ. His neurologist and I think it might be facial dystonia (he also has some weird posturing in his feet). Good luck with your son. I hope you keep seeing improvement. Bekele wrote: > > > Hi , > We live in Centennial,CO and started seeing Dr.G. in mid January.
