Sue and group;

I thought they didnt work that good either just give it a few weekss

and than decide... I wish I could make them stay on me... It could

be I sweat a lot why they fall off... THe bottom one stays on good

its the top patch that always are half off.... I was thinking about

putting some elmers glue on the corners of my patches next time and

glue it on my back...

I know Sue it is redicules a box of patches for #180.00... I

thought the same thing Sue that the humira injections should work on

my osteo also.. but it don't

I am so sorry your having such a hard time hon... I pray it gets

better for you... I don't know why our country don't help people

with medical insurance that can't afford it,, other countries do..

God bless and take care

gentle hugs

Clora, I do have health insurance, thank goodness, but I still have

co-pays. My co-pay for the patches is $30, but then the insurance

company has to pay an additional $156.

The pain in my back is not constant. It comes and goes, but sometimes

it seems to come and stay, LOL. It seems, though, that it flares up the

most when I'm on a trip, trying to have fun. So I'm saving my patches

for times when it flares up really badly.

Sue and group;

I am so glad to hear you have some insurance Sue... Its sad you have

to pay such a high co-payment... If you made about 13 dollars an hour

that wouldnt seem to high... Unless of course you pay high cost for

the insurance.

I understand our pain is not usually constant,, it goes up and

down.. Yes thats a good idea to save the patches for a flare...

I had a flare yesterday.... I didnt go to sleep till 4 am this

morning... My back and legs was killiing me... I got really cold last

night.. I got to close some windows and start keeping the heat on at

night... It could also be the barametric pressure too...

gentle hugs
