Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 And I do mean RUMMY! My insurance only has 2 Rheumatologists listed in my area since the insurance is so sorry, so my choice is limited. I've had this one before and went to the other one for a while. He was worse, so I had to fire him. Now I'm dealing with this rummy again and can't get answers or help from him. My right wrist has been very painful for almost 2 years and neither one would address it. My spine doc won't do anything about it either. I'm just having no luck at all. The Rummy wants me to start a Biologic so I can get off Prednisone. That seems to be the big push today, not treating the cause it was prescribed for in the first place. I've been taking 5-15mg per day for 20 years and it hasn't caused me any problems so far. From what I've read here, Enbrel would be a good choice. I tried Humira a couple of years ago and it wasbad for me. Within 4 weeks, I was hurting in every joint in my body, so I had to quit it. As soon as I did, my body went back to the way it was before. I've arranged co-pay assistance for Enbrel and now have to decide which delivery system I want to take. Rummy won't tell me anything except, " You decide, and I'll write the script " . He can't tell me the difference between self-mix or sure-click or any other info because it's 'not his job'! He can't tell me how the self-mix works or anything more than how to spell the name of it. I don't know what to do, but am inclined to mix it myself and go with 25mg shots. I even called Enbrel and they weren't too much more helpful. Do any of you have any words of wisdom for me? I'd like to start it very soon because I want some relief, not a runaround. Dennis in eastexas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
