I do not agree with Norman. There are no cures to autoimmune diseases. The companies that sell these medications depending on your financial situation have various programs that allow the medicine to either be free or affordable. You do not have to go through the “Big Pharm” like I went through Xeljanz and got a great deal for a year. Because of my financial situation. I do not know what you are selling Norman but it is not sold in USA. There is something about Kenya in there? Anyway I would definitely caution anyone who comes into this group that complains about “Big Pharma” then comes out with some kind of bogus treatment plan that is a cure all for autoimmune that is not accepted in the USA.

I've had bad side effects from the pill forms of treatment, my Rheumatologist suggested that I try Humira. Worked pretty well for about 4-6 months. Then she put me on Enbril. What a difference. Been on it since 2014. The help line, you can ask questions about RA and get answers, get sharps containers at no cost. And also help on copay.

I’ve been on Enbrel for 6 years now and I love it. I choose the prefilled needles over the sure click because I didn’t have enough fat on my legs to make injection less painful. I’m also taking hydroxychloroquine and leuflunomide. My recent inflammation markers were through the roof. Hoping the addition of the hydrox and leu will calm things down.
