Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 So glad you were approved--sure hope the Humira does wonders for you. Ron and I worked for Abbott for many years (he retired after 37 years designing hospital equipment) so I hope it's a good product! It's wonderful to have a ray of hope, isn't it? Peace, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also suppose to be on a long list of other meds too..prevacid, prozac, multi-vit, flexeril (for sleep), ultram and darvocet(for pain and I had to beg for the ultram and the darvocet was left over from carpel tunnel surgery last year). If I get approved for long term disability and after a few months of trying to get caught up on bills I may have money to go back on my prozac and bextra. The rest is just too expensive. I will go back to taking OTC motrin and aspirin. The co-pays are killing me!! Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
