  1. I too was hesitant on taking the Enbrel. I decided to start taking it after I got severe IRITIS twice. My Optamologist recommended it after my Rheumy did. It worked very well for about a year then I was having a lot of painful flareups in my hips, shoulders, etc,........ My Rheumy(Navy Doc) offered to switch me to Humira. I did so a few months ago. I am having less flareups. We shall see how long (hopefully a long time) this works. I am currently going through a MED Board and would like to leave knowing that I can get the medicine cheaper than paying for the whole cost out of my pocket. I hope you are doing fine w/o taking it. I would probably feel the same way you do if I had the health issues you did. Are you rated by the VA with your AS?
  2. I am currently on Active duty and going through a MED Board. I take Humira shots for my AS. Does the VA cover these? They are taken every two weeks and cost about $700.00 ea. I was wanting to know because when I get out and if the Board doesn't rate me high enough (>3 0%)to keep tricare I would like to get them through the VA.
