Thanks
I have been on Enbrel a total of 25 months. Cindy has been on it approx. the same amount of time.
I have not had to worry about insurance because I am on a medication study.
It is unlikely that my particular insurance company would pay.
Yes, I feel normal agan. I do not have any limitations while on the Enbrel. No problems and no side effects.
I went off of the Enbrel for 6 weeks. By week four, I was in a lot of pain. When I started back, the pain went away within 24 hours. I do not take any other medications related to AS.
Just recently, I went back on the LSD because it is my thoughts that damage could still be occuring even though I am not aware of it. What brought me to this conclusion was the 2 weeks that I was in pain prior to getting back on Enbrel.
At this point, I feel the study is just checking out safety. A small group has been on the med two years. I bet they are checking to see if anyone will develop problems.
