20 years ago, #Enbrel was a relatively new medication on the #rheumatoid disease front. My #insurance company would only cover half the cost of home injectables aside from insulin. I could not afford a $500/month #copay so I kept trying medications that wouldn't work.
Around that time a friend of mine with rheumatoid disease said that they were rolling out Enbrel very slowly in Canada and it was hard to get, and it was better for people who lived in the US where it wasn't rationed.
Oh, it was rationed.

So as it turns out, I forgot my medication last week. Not entirely sure what happened, as I really don't remember much of last Tuesday (injection day). At least now I know why my #ChronicPain is so much higher this week, and why my #Psoriasis is fully out of control. I got my shot today, and I really hope things calm down a bit.
