So, gave myself my last free sample of Enbrel this AM, no complaints, no weird side effects that I have noticed. Maybe even feel better, but can't really tell because I have such better pain control. Swelling was INCREDIBLE yesterday; my ankle was double size. So maybe not doing a whole lot for me yet. I am so grateful to have the doctor I have who helps to get good pain management. I'm not 100% pain free, but that is not a possibility in RA, really. I am at least at a 1-3 with occasional 6, whereas I was at a 7 and above constantly.
Called insurance, they denied Enbrel because we didn't do methotrexate. Called dr office to see what they are doing. As far as I know, they contacted insurance with another application and whatever the word is that has escaped me. The nurse was supposed to call back but didn't, so I will try tomorrow and see what is up. I'm two weeks into this therapy, I don't want to stop and start up again!
