If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Hey everyone,
I have good news and bad news. First the good. My new Rhuemy has said she wants to put me on enbrel. This was wonderful news after nearly 2 years just trying to find a doctor who believed that I actually had real pain. In one of my earlier post I said my job was going to terminate me as of Nov 19, because they allow only 12 weeks leave for illness. Well I have been trying to find a doctor who would listen to me and get me some relief from this pain so that I would be able to go back to work. Well I have, but now it is to late. They did terminate me. BUT, I have now found a doctor who wants to help me. But she said enbrell is too expensive without insurance. So it;s a catch 22.
Anyway she gave me some information from the company who makes it, and they offer reduced cost for people who qualify, and I wanted to let everyone know about it. The name is ENcourage Foundation. I dont know if you can apply online, but the phone# is 1-888-436-2735. I have not applied yet, but I am going to as soon as I get thru here. I just thought this info might help someone else without insurance who needs Enbrel.

Getting approved is half the battle - - unfortunately paying for it is the other half. Just as something to consider as a less expensive alternative, I've been on one of the other new disease modifiers for two years now, went from hobbling on a cane and hurting constantly to living almost a normal life - - all I need is a spine transplant and I'd be really back to normal, have a lot of mechanical damage in my lumbar and cervical spine. You can PM me if you'd like more information on what I'm taking, which is Arava. It cost just under $400 a month without insurance.
