EDU: BRM Contacts / Enbrel Information

[Guest guest]

If you are prescribed a BRM for treatment of your Stills Disease, go to the

web site of the drug you are being given and read up on side effects, injection

proceedures, etc. Join the support program. Ask about Patient in Need programs

if you have no insurance but need the medication. Ask about financial assistance

with your copay's. The worst that can happen is that you won't receive any

assistance due to qualification restrictions BUT... we have all heard, " sorry, I

can't seem to find a way to help you " before. For some of us, we have heard that

many times over in trying to get diagnosed. LOL You never know what you might

qualify for if you don't ask. Below are the contact details about all of the

current BRM's being used to treat RA type illnesses.
