Saturday, November 7, 2009 | A Breaking News story

It has been 3 weeks that i have taken the Enbrel Sure Click, and i have had no pain since. My wrist hurts a little ever now and then, but not the way it has in the past. My feet and legs are good too. 4 weeks ago I was in bed most of the time because of the pain. It's amazing how some of the most dangerous Drugs help. I don't like to think of the side effects they have. Maybe when I go into Remission the Rhumey will taper me off the meds all together. That would be a Dream come true.

My Insurance has cancelled me and sold my Policy to BCBS. They already send me a letter of acceptance, but raised my premium to $520.00 from $328.00. I may have to look for a Job to pay for the Insurance.

    I am glad to hear the Enbrel is working. I tried it before Kineret, but I never gave it a chance to work, because it gave me massive headaches. It is amazing what these terrible drugs can do! I finally got off Mthx, because it was destroying my liver, and now I am on Sulfasalazine, which is better in some ways, although I get more achy and tired than before. Still, my liver tests are normal for the first time in years, so that is good.

    I am so sorry about your insurance. The US drives me crazy. I probably wouldn't qualify for anything if I lived there, with all my pre-exisiting conditions. Remember, this is one of the big reasons Obama wants to change the medical system. Not because he is a raving socialist. I am grateful to live in Canada and have access to universal health care.
