Mar 2014

Called CA Health & Wellness and got an expidited appeal going...then called the Enbrel company and they opened a claim...supposedly they work with a number of foundations who help people pay for meds... (seriously fucked up stuff, though, that it has to even come to this)
Meanwhile I guess I have no choice but to do the three months with the other bad stuff, hopefully the side effects aren't too horrific. It's like Chemo medicine, so it affects the GI tract pretty badly and the methotrexate makes your hair fall out too..I guess if I look on the bright side, i could lose some weight from all this... :/ (soooooooo not funny, but WTH all I have is my sense of humor at this point)
