[livejournal.com profile] mactavish - do you know anything about Embrel? It's pricey and probably why you're not on it now - but it sounds pretty damn good for RA...[livejournal.com profile] becuna is going on it for her PA --

Even when I had insurance, it only paid for 50% of Enbrel, leaving the rest way out of my budget. :(

It's a profound immunosuppressant. I'd consider it if I could afford it, but I'd be very careful about it. It's no mild drug.

*nods* None of the stuff you've been on sounds like a cakewalk.

As I recall, if this is the one I heard about some years ago - it's as good as a cure. It leaves RA patients with the damage it did, but no more RA itself. And it's not forever - more like a course of chemotherapy.

It's a new drug - therefore, it's expensive. And that's just completely unfair.
