My Enbrel prescription costs for my Arthritis is $1,600 a month for 4 syringes in a package & I inject 1 weekly. I thank god for my Medical insurance my co-pay is only $50 a month. Without my insurance I would be broke & without Enbrel or some similar drug I would be in a wheel chair and useless. What gets me is that there are still idiots out there that think we don't need medical reform.

Enbrel is indicated for "ACTIVE" rheumtoid arthritis...JRA. It is only indicated for very few patients. Its dangerous side effects include CNS demyelinatingh disorders (multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis), malignancies (cancer)...aplastic anemia. The key is to be certain that the drug is indicated for your patient. There must objective evidence of disease activity by measuring levels of C-reactive protein, Sed Rate and other markers of inflammation. Think...think before Rx Enbrel.
It is indicated for many other disorders. I thought, and now I can resume my life again. At 45 y.o., do you think its fun for it to take 10 minutes to put your shoes and socks on due to pain?

@carolbivens I think you are exaggerating a tad.
