Re: Struggling with when to take Enbrel

[Guest guest]

Dear :

I stopped taking enbrel for over six months back when Medicare Part D

went into effect b/c I was dropped from the enbrel philanthropic

program: I now had " insurance " . But b/c I couldn't afford the

$3,600.00 out of pocket Medicare part D, co-pay I had to go w/o.

It took six months b/f I could find other aid. Thankfully during the

interim, I did not have a serious flare not did I delevop an immunity

to it.

When I was pregnant over 20 years ago, I dropped everything but 5mgs

of the prednisone. At 22, my daughter has no health issues and two

years later the enbrel still works for me.

But since you are so far into the pregnancy, I would talk to your ob-

gyn b/f dropping anything cold turkey.

Good Luck
