1544019 tn?1318504526 So just an update about this. Just when we finally got cleared for me to take the Enbrel while pregnant, we find out it's not going to be into the pharmacy until Friday AND it's going to cost $900!!! BUT it turns out it will actually probably be safer for me TO take the Enbrel. I have to control my arthritis because if I don't control it, (according to the lady at the pregnancy risk hotline we talked to today) Rheumatoid ARthritis puts me at risk for still birth and preterm labor.

Avatar f tn I’ve been taking Enbrel for the past 15 years or so with HUGE success! I have since Retired from work last month and now have a limited income. I signed up to Medicare/AARP for my post retirement healthcare requirement. During employment my Co-Pay was 25 dollars for a month supply. Now, Medicare and AARP collective insurance leaves me with 1,000 dollars for a month supply. Retail? $4600-$5500 for a 4 doses (month supply) Is there ANYTHING else that works as well as this?
Avatar n tn I am 42 and have been on Enbrel for 8 years now. The Sureclick was no good for me because I can't stand not knowing if it is all in me or not. Also, the two most feared things in the world to me are needles and knives. I waited a full month before building the courage to give myself my first injection and it literally stared working overnight. I have very mild AS and have a fairly large dose of Reactive Arthritis (Reiters' syndrome). Both knees, one toe, neck and both wrists.
Avatar f tn you might want to check out this study that was recently completed - A Crohns study using low dose Naltrexone. If you scroll down on the site posted you can read about it and also see the pictures. Please check it out for yourself. http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ Also, here is the 2008 Conference. http://www.ldninfo.org/conf2008.htm If you don't have time to look at the 2nd site in entirety, I would suggest scrolling down to Dr.Berkson's Presentation.
Avatar f tn Here in the U.S. the cost of the Enbrel is $18,000 a year, a steep cost as well. Because I changed jobs and cannot afford the COBRA payments ( Ins.the employee pays for in between new coverage taking effect) Today is my last shot until Aug. 1 when my new Ins. kicks in. The first thing that came to mind for you is to contact the company that makes Enbrel..
Avatar n tn Hi. I've had RA for 17 years, on Enbrel for the last 8.5. I never wanted to go on MTX because the side effects scare me, and I enjoy a few drinks with friends. A new doctor has put me on it in conjunction with Enbrel because I have couple joints which have been causing me problems. Otherwise, I've been great on Enbrel. I am now in my 3rd week on MTX, and seveal joints are really flaring. I find this very depressing.
Avatar f tn Hi - has anyone who has ever been on Enbrel noticed a rust-colored staining on the hands? I'm not sure if it is directly related to enbrel, but I thought I would ask. My daughter was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis several months ago, and has tried Remicade unsuccessfully. Now, she has had 2 injections of Enbrel, and just today has noticed the staining on her hands. I don't know what to think, so I'd appreciate hearing from any of you.
370181 tn?1595629445 I have now been through prednisone, methotrexate, Enbrel, Humara(Humira? sp) then back to Enbrel.......then nothing. The Enbrel worked very well, but I have massive anxiety about the biologics. I just don't trust them and and it's very frustrating. I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard spot. On one hand they really do make me feel better, pain and ROM vastly improved.
Avatar f tn I started Enbrel along with an injectible dose of.09 Mtx weekly. For me Enbrel was a light-switch medication and within 2 weeks I was a normal functioning adult again with no pain at all. My only real complaint is that my hair has become substantially thinner and I am considering stopping the Mtx to see if there is an improvement. Over the 22 years I have had this disease I have learned that Mtx is a bigger health risk than Enbrel.
Avatar n tn Right sided numbness and weakness after the 3nd dose of enbrel. Unchanged in 9 weeks?
Avatar m tn From my personal experience, I can tell you it cost about USD 2800 per dose, back in Kerala, India. If i remember right, the bottle said INR 130,000. Yes, an insane price, one which makes no sense. I wish you well, good luck.
737030 tn?1257659120 So I did and the pharmacist said the Enbrel was $1350 per month and the Remicade $2700. Then I said -- well how much for those pain pills he prescribed and she said $21.00. I replied: " I'LL TAKE THE PAIN PILLS PLEASE " Later, after being encouraged by an aquaintance that suffers from Ankylosing Spondylistis ( and has a narcotic pump implanted in his abdomen) I contacted the drug company that makes Enbrel to see about assistance and they provided some to get me started.
Avatar n tn I was basically diagnosed as having somekind of sudden onset of arthritis, probably RA, given vioxx and pregnisone and sent on my way. I finally got on enbrel in 2002 and it worked real well but about a year ago its effectiveness wore off. I forgot to leave out that not to soon after this all happened i developed atrial fibrilation and was put on beta blockers. The AF got so bad that i had an ablation in 2005 and have been pretty much been cured since then.
5625068 tn?1371156181 Maybe LDN or low dose naltrexone could help you. My friend with a serious autoimmune disease says it's great.
Avatar f tn Sorry I don't have Kaiser health insurance, maybe someone else here does, but those prices sound about right. Those are your "co-pay costs", the "actual cost" is thousands of dollars per month as you have heard. I had Blue Cross of California during treatment and my co-pay cost were similar to the prices you quoted.
Avatar n tn Remicade, Enbrel, etc that seem to work for some - but they cost like $5,000 per month and I think I would only like to go there as a last resort. Anyone here able to share with me their experience with Tramadol/ultram -- good or bad. would also like to hear from anyone using biologics.
6537448 tn?1383243494 I was put on Humira for a few months, then had to go off of it because the cost was prohibitive. My co-pay even with insurance would have been $800.00 per month. It's so sad because it worked wonders for me.
Avatar f tn Herceptin is available at a cost of Rs 1.10 Lac per dose in Delhi.It is supplied by a renowned supplier in West Delhi.It is of Roche company.
148588 tn?1465778809 With only 10 to 30 grams of Sovaldi needed for successful treatment, the difference from the $30 production cost for Gilead’s full course of treatment—30 grams x $1.00 per gram—to $84,000 for the 12-week treatment program represents a retail markup of 279,000%.) Weinstein’s letter to state Medicaid directors also reminds them that, “Gilead did not pay to research and develop Sovaldi. In 2011, it purchased Pharmasset, the company that had already developed the drug, for $11 billion in cash.
Avatar n tn Hello there, I am 24 years old male I was recently diagnosed with Reiter's Syndrome (Reactive Arthritis). I am positive for HLA-B27 antigen. It's been almost one month since the first swelling and before that I had Chlamydia. My symptoms so far are swelling in knees, elbow, ankles, toes, wrist, fingers, and I think in my spine too, and of course, pain and stiffness. I didn't have any other problem from the list of problems that come with Reiter's.
Avatar n tn Wow, I must have fallen asleep with the laptop in bed last night, I wrote you back with my opinion and must have nodded off before I could hit send! Anyway, I will tell you that my response was almost exactly what txsilver told you. I have never heard of a doctor not wanting to prescribe anti inflamm's. Everything we take comes with some risk, we have to outweigh the risks versus the good they can do and give us back some quality of life while we battle our different diseases.
746512 tn?1388807580 What are some cheaper options for inhaled cortosterioids? I technically do not have asthma, but reactive airways instead. However this could just be due to the lack of consistency in my test results to point at asthma. I am trying advair 250/50 right now, and it has improved my symptoms 90% within an hour of the first dose (minus one very stressful day that sucked and I couldn't breathe).
