Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Goodness Vicki, glad you found a drug that helps you that much. Muscles cramp up without oxygen. I guess without the enbrel, your muscles experience a visious cycle. Glad you are doing so much better. We close on the house on Feb. 20th. Hope to officially move on Feb. 23rd. I have barely been able to keep up with all the posts. Have been trying to pack and maintain a normal schedule for the kids. Of course, everytime I turn around I need something I have already sealed in a box! LOL. I am at the new house everyday and can hardly wait. We are waiting for the carpet to go in. It is less then a mile from the house we are in now. Just got our new rate on our health insurance. has his own policy. The two combined totals for the family's two policy's is $750.00 a month. That is painful. Our family policy went up $90/month, effective this April. 's goes up in June. I should just stop opening the mail.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 YIKES!!! $750/month?? What does that include? Prescriptions? We currently have no health coverage, either. Wow.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 Yes, that is $750/month. Very little is paid on prescriptions. Maybe $1.50 off on a $50 prescription. I am meeting with a gentleman next week who works with several different types of medical insurance. will have to keep his but maybe the rest of us can get good coverage with a cheaper rate. I sure hope so! Cari > >Reply-To: OurMyositis >To: OurMyositis >Subject: Re: Cari ~ Talked with Doctor >Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2002 17:52:15 -0400 > >YIKES!!! $750/month?? What does that include?

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2002 Report Share Posted February 8, 2002 I nearly fell off my chair when I read that, Cari! My gosh...that's quite a lot of money, but....
