@kstar077 I know medicines are way too expensive but the drug companies do want to help.
Check out this link and call the company to see if they can help.

Will you let me know what you learn?

I am ashamed of big pharma. These prices for medication are criminal. I can’t afford any of it so far. I was on prednisone and methotrexate for 45 weeks and could not tolerate it any longer. Both of those prescriptions had no Co- pays.
I’m seeing a rheumatologist next week and hoping he helps me come up with an affordable plan.
