Enbrel users opinions needed

I've had Rheumatoid Arthritis/Sjogrens for 3 years now. I first started slowly with Plaquenil for the first year and then added Sulfasalazine and now have been on that for a year. I still have pain and my Rf is normal now after being at 58. My CCP was at 250 and now 200. I still have pain and my toes are like splitting in half in the middle. My hands hurt and parts of me here and there. I have been approved for Enbrel through Safety net which they are sending me through the mail till January. I also have hep C and the Enbrel is now approved for this. I would like to have everyones thoughts that have been on Enbrel. Don D, I remember talking to you a while back and you were always so informed. I would love to have your opinion on this too please. Thanks for any input on this. I am hoping to get off Sulfalalazine and maybe the plaquenil to. What scares me most is that i will start it and then they will not let me renew next year, Please any advise, input, from any Enbrel users out there. Thanks

Hi,Don, It wasnt the insurance company that approved me, it was the Enbrels site that approved me. It was approved till 2017 and they want me to get medicaid and i have been turned down for it. I am on disability and have medicare which dont pay for anything. Thats why I am so afraid to start and then have to stop in 3 months. So I dont know what to do except maybe stockpiling until next year to hear approval, Sounds crazy what we have to do to survive. Hope your doing better these days, CP.
