Re: Can't take Biologics?/SUE- ENBREL

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue - I might be a little late with this, but have you tried contacting

Enbrel directly? They have wonderful patient assistance programs to help with

not only co-pays, but those (like me) who have no insurance. They're a wonderful

company to work with. Best of luck to you.....

Which biologics have you tried, , and what side effects did

you have?

I do consider myself lucky that Enbrel works so well for me and so

far has not caused any adverse side effects. It's too bad that the

biologics cost so darn much. Since my co-pay more than doubled, for

about six months now, I have been stretching out my injections, from

two per week to one. I seem to be doing well on one injection per

week. I am not in remission, though, because last time it was time

for an injection, I could tell again that I do have RA.
