My Life Depends on Using Enbrel

Hi, This is a good explanation for why meds can help us have a better quality of life. I could feel my hands, wrists and neck too! I am on Medicare so there's no Enbrel , or any injectable, in my future. But they will cover the medications given in a medical infusion center. I have come to see the week or two weeks before my appointment as time I will be coping with the chronic pain and fatigue of RA.
I hope your sinuses have healed and you don't have to go off of Enbrel anytime soon. It is not an exaggeration to say your "life depends on Enbrel."

@jw9 I am on Medicare too and Enbrel is covered for me. So you have to get an infusion ? I thought all Medicare was the same rules and laws but guess I am wrong. I actually got Enbrel free from the Amgen Foundation due to low income. This lasted for 2 years but now I am on my own with my Advantage insurance. United Health Care says it will be $35 a month, which should cover 3 injections. I am ok with that.
