Dear Stella, sorry i did not get to chat with you last night. I had to go see the pharmacist about my diabetes. I also had to go to a special pharmacist or chemist as my British husband would say to get my supplies for my first injection of "Humira". The humira was $1798.00. I thought it was going to be $1300.00. I have to put the money out and then submit the receipt to the insurance company to get them to reimburse me. Apparently it could take 7 to 10 days for them to reimburse me. However, I should not complain, at least I have an insurance drug plan that will cover this. I am going to need it every two weeks for perhaps the rest of my life. I spoke to the pharmacist about the one percent risk of developing ms from it according to some literature. he felt it was a very low risk. I have known this pharmacist for a long time so I trust his judgement.
I am working, volunteering at a school this a,m, so I will not be able to have coffee with you. But I hope to be home by 1:00 p.m., so hopefully we can chat then.
Take care, looking forward to talking to you. I am scrambling to write this so excuse spelling, typos and I hope it makes sense.

Congatulations on the volunteering. This is right up your allley and all your experience and talents can be shared with those that need it and can least afford it. Cudos to you my friend for getting out and making a difference in the lives of others. I am so sorry about the Humira. My girlfiend took if you awhile for her RA, but was not able to tolerate it. I hope you have success with it. Ouch on the cost. That is just plain outragous. Please keep me post as to how your are doing.
