That's cheap. $12K/month for two self-administered biologic injections.

for RA ?

[cellularmitosis]

That’s probably Humira, so RA, Crohn’s or UC. Many of the immunomodulator drugs are in a similar price range.

Yup.

Family member is on Remicade. It's administered in two doses (IV infusions) every 4 months, so 6 treatments/year. And retails for something like $12k/treatment. And many insurance companies have removed it from their list of preferred drugs due to the cost, leaving patients to fight for medically necessary treatment.

It's a fucking nightmare (as if RA on it's own isn't bad enough).

Please hesitate before offering medical advice to strangers next time.

Yes and fasting does not cure RA
