I am in panic mode for RA. My hands swelling badly in am. As I said Dr. Wants me to try Embrel. I have insurance but Embrel still too much money. I am on SS and medicare part D does not cover enough of expense. What do people do? Amgen will not pay for drug for me. Do you think the Prednisone, paquenil, methotrexate will kick in and I will be in remission from RA? Or do I have to get on Embrel no matter what? Will it even work? Is there anyone in my predicament?
