Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 the past few weeks i have been going down and down further down the hill on pain. i FINALLY had my appointment march 30th with my rhemy and things have changed. first off she took me off voltaren we looked everywhere for that damn medication and now i am off it. second she put me back on celebrex which is fine the bad risks on it are for the elderly with heart problems i may feel elderly but age wise im not so no worries on that. she also put me on enbrel. the downside to this med is the price, liek many of you know it. since i dont have perscription coverage its going to cost over $20,000 a year. well i visited the enbrel site and i am elgiable for medicare to cover it. they are sending me the application for it. YAY! so today i'll take my 3rd shot i started last saturday and i take it on saturdays and wednesdays. and so far so good. i am still on mtx every monday. and all my other fun meds. i have seen a slight change. my knee isnt hurting me very much, nore are my wrists, sholders, neck and fingers. right now the only thing hurting is my elbows. its weird... to answer some back questions people were talking about sores in the mouth from mtx i get them and it pisses me off. ARG! ok off to enjoy a beautiful day here in michigan. *gentle hugs* ~Dawn~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
