I have been feeling very tired on mornings lately. I,m doing Enbrel every other week and that keeps me almost" pain free. waking up very groogy and like I havent had any sleep . I only have Enbrel for about three more shots . My inssurance is canceled  (IM ON THE CALIFORNIA CARE ) I paid late and they wont reinstate it. I have been all over calling and even spoke to the California State of Managed Health Care lawyers and I have to wait to the new enrolment at the end of the year. so that means no Dr,s appointments and no medicine until next year.

anyone has anything natural that worked? i,m getting really scared of getting all those pains back as I have two jobs . any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, if you paid late and your insurance company knows you have a long term disease, they will jump at the chance to dump you (us).  Have you checked with Obama Care?

      Yes Babyboomer27, That is the problem , because I have the help of the Obama care to pay for part of my inssurance premium is because I cant get it back! that is the way the Obamacare system is set up. I spoke to one of the attorneys at the California  Department of managed Health Care. sad

      I looked it up and we are given a quote depending on our income, etc.   Were you signed up with two companies?  Good luck.  Hopefully your lawyers will get it cleared up.

    You guys have a terrible health care system, unfortunately, our politicians are trying to head in the same direction;fortunately, the opposition keeps heading them off.   On alternatives, try turmeric, MSM, paracetamol and ibuprofen.   Ibuprofen seems the best for pain management, turmeric, MSM and paracetemol have a very minor effect but anything that helps is good, right?

    Try to avoid going down the prednisone path, the side effects are terrible and once on them it's very difficult to get off.   Best of luck, hope you find something that helps.

    I was told Ibuprofen is more for imflammation and Tylenol for pain, especially ankle, knee and wrist pain.  Read about the difference.

    I am on embrel and it is paid for by the PCT

    patient care trust

    As tony said it looks like we will be heading the way your system works soon as our NHS is virtually bankrupt.

    I have been feeling really tied lately and one day I couldn't go to work as I did not have any energy

    Contacted the hospital and they said it was fatigue

    And rest

    That was last week

    Feeling bit better but still not great

    I am self employed and need to work

    Hope you get sorted soon

    Best wishes

    Colin

    I am orencia and my insurance pays for it. I have a $4000 deductable so come September I would have had to pay for orencia injections out of pocket. It costs $4026 for 4 injections. So I googled orencia coupons and got better than I expected. They will pay for the drug when I can't afford it. Wish I could say the same for methotrexate injections.

    All this to say that you should reach out to the manufacturer or google med coupons and see what you will get out of it.

    GOOD LUCK!
