Just when I was done posting for the day...I got a phone call from the pharmacy regarding my Enbrel prescription that has been a nightmare for the last couple of weeks. My insurance wouldn't cover the Enbrel without a form of medical necessity from my RD. I couldn't get the RD or the people at the office to move their butts for anything even though I got all the information from my insurance...step by step along with phone numbers for them. Then, I turned the script into the pharmacey as instructed with detailed steps and phone numbers for them as well and they lost the script! The nice lady at the pharmacey apologized over and over and swore to me she would make this right ASAP and would keep in constant contact as to the status and she has kept her word. Today...she was getting the run around at my RD's office and kept getting put into voicemail. I called the RD office and told them NOT to put me on a voicemail, that I wanted to TALK to someone who could help me and that this was going beyond ridiculous. I will have you know that less than 3 hours later...the nice lady from the pharmacy called me and the Enbrel is ready for pick up. Can you freaking believe that they accomplished in less than 3 hours what has been a mess for a couple of weeks? Go figure!! But wait...there's more! I asked the nice lady at the pharmacy how much my co-pay was going to be. I was told when I dropped it off that it would be 0 and I wanted to verify. The woman told me for a month supply!!!! She followed that with...that does seem low but we're not going to question it...you just come get these so you feel better. Finally!! Some good news and someone nice and helpful. So my little butt (not really so little) is picking up those injections as soon as I can find someone to take me and hopefully before the month is up I will be set up for assistance on the Enbrel. I had to share the good news...especially since I've shared so much bad lately.

Thank you...Thank you! I was on it before during the study and although I still had difficulty, I do believe it helped some. In our lives..."some" counts for a whole lot! I hope they don't catch the monetary mistake before I get there to pick it up...waiting for a ride now. Maybe just maybe I will be able to work a bit longer. I truly dread ssdi. Thanks again....I love you all!!

Well that is good news. I hope the Enbrel works as well for you as it has for me.Huggs!
Thank you all for the support!

I'm so happy that you got your drugs Neasy! Hope you feel better soon.
I used to be on Humira and I never did get used to the injection. Now I go in for remicade and have an IV and I like it so much better! Although it sucks sitting in that chair for so long!
Have a wonderful evening
Miles2go...How long do you have to sit there? That would suck.
I'll have to share my needle horror story with you all someday...egads! I'm surprised I can even do these self injections. It is funny though because everytime I do one...I still go through the count down and closing of the eyes. I have yet to muster up the courage to do them in my stomach.
This Enbrel injection actually felt different than the injections I've done in the past. It made me light headed and a little dizzy. Perhaps it's because it's been awhile or the fact that it's one injection instead of the two I was doing. Regarless, I'm grateful I finally have it.
Peace & Love...Neasy
