I don't know where to go from here. I recently got a bill in the mail from my doctor's office. It was for almost $400. Apparently there are charges not covered by insurance for my Remicade treatments. So last month with the extra doctors visits, prescriptions and the Remicade, my bills totaled over $700. That is not including the gas to and from the many doctor visits. That can cost about $8 roundtrip. So add another $40. I can't afford all of this. So it looks like no more Remicade for me...
Hell, even with insurance I can't afford treatment. And people wonder why Americans are fed up with our health care system. It is broken, plain and simple. Republicans don't give a crap about people that can't afford insurance. The Democrats want more "insurance" instead of better health care. It's very frustrating. If I were to get disability and Medicare I would be better off than if I were working and paying for insurance, and paying for all the expenses not covered.
Anyway as far as how I've been doing... I was feeling pretty good for the last week. Today wasn't that great. I'm starting to get a lot of pain in my hands and in my neck. My back is messed up too. I don't think that is RA related. That's something that comes and goes depending on if I lift things wrong or put too much strain on my back.
So for now the future is a mystery for me.
