I have to be shown how to self administer the injections - and I have to have 2 when she arrives. The nurse will do the first one and im meant to do the second one to show I can self admin - good job im not afraid of needles LOL. Did a bit of research on the injections - cant believe each one costs nearly £400 - thank the lord im not paying for it - I would need to sell my house!!!!!!
Hi Tanlou,I do self injections every Sat.I am on Enbrel and the cost is $750 a shot which is $3000 a month.I see where a lot of people take 2/ 50 mg shots.I will have to ask my Rhemmy why I am only on one shot.If I were to double up on my shots the cost would double $6000 a month.Maybe that's why due to the cost.I am getting help from the Enbrel Support Access.I live in the USA and I pay for my Health Ins.$235 a month and I have $4900 out of pocket and deductibles.After I pay this I am covered 100%.It is very expensive for anything pertaining to Healthcare in the USA.I have no choice but to pay.
