End of Month

When I first started taking Enbrel about 7 years ago, I took it every week for a month or two, then I tapered off until I felt pain again.  My doctor said to take it as needed, but to make sure to take it when I felt the pain.   He said there is a lot of damage that happens in my connective tissue when I am in pain and it is fighting each other.  

Now knowing this I do a shot when I first feel the pain coming on, which right now is only about 29 or 30 days apart.  When I first stopped taking it, I went a whole year before I needed another shot.

I feel like I eat healthy, and I strive to live a healthy life.  When I was doing Cross-fit 6 days a week for over a year, I did not find the times between shots get farther away from each other.  I ate a Paleo diet for most of that year about 80% which is pretty good.  

My friend told me about Miracle II Neutralizer that took her pain away and she no longer suffers from pain.  I tried it for a month and it does work!  The only problem was I was not consistent enough.  You have to drink about 4 cap fulls a day in water or whatever, it doesn't taste.  Sometimes I would feel a little pain, and then would drink more and it would help.  The bottles cost about $7 for about 20 oz of this stuff.  I used it for a month and decided I was spending more on this Miracle II stuff than I now was for the medicine.  I went back to the shot monthly.  If I did not have the Enbrel Support where I pay $10 a month, then I would do this other as a good alternative.

FREE!

My friend's husband has RA and takes Enbrel as well.  She told me this year about Enbrel Support.  Basically, it has nothing to do with your income.  After your insurance pays there portion, then Enbrel Support kicks in and pays the rest!

I called and took their little survey and lone and behold, I got it FREE for about 6 months!  I was elated to here that  my medication was not triple my car payment.

No I can be pain free and not worry about racking up our credit cards.  It is amazing how fast a not expected expense of $600 adds up over the months.

Thank you Enbrel Support for being there when I needed you most, not to mention the amazing drug!

After this 6 months there is a charge monthly for each pack of 4 shots, but I think it is only $10 which I can afford.

I love being out of pain, and being "normal".  Thinking back to how bad it is still makes me tear up, so apparently I'm not over it yet.  I certainly should be over it!  I don't suffer from pain anymore unless I am not fast enough to do a shot, but then it is so minimal considering what it was.  So thanks again to Enbrel Support for helping us financially and physically.
