I was able to inject myself at home, once a fortnight. I know what you’re saying though… I used to have to pay to have gold injections done by a nurse (a diff sort of injection I wasn’t allowed to do myself) but it pissed me right off – I was subsidized hundreds of dollars for the drug, but had to pay weekly to have it injected! it wasn’t nearly as much as yours, but it was bankrupting me at the time and there’s no way to get out of it if you need the drug to work/live.

The company is giving me the Remicade for free, but my doctor’s office is charging me $252 for each treatment. It is an aweful feeling knowing there is a drug that can help me, but no place to give it to me. How does one overcome that?
