What is the most expensive part of your care?

Venturing inhalers are very expensive. Symbicort also, about 300.00

Venturing inhalers and symbicort

Hi @DonaldEaton

How are you today?

Thanks for sharing! Is this before or after insurance?

Take care,

I get an biological injection every 8 weeks and I think pay around $400 with insurance for that- each appointment costs me $158.

I don’t have health insurance, Can’t hold a job long enough due to flare ups of this disease that’s eating me from the inside out. The doctor is $150 a month $50 in addition if labs are needed. The medication is $400 or more depending, and that’s using goodrx or whichever card has the best deal. My husband helps me tremendously, but I live with this guilt that consumes me. Sometimes I wonder, if I should just stop all of it. On my best day I feel like I have the flu. I’m so full of love for everyone else, but I lost my self respect. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to go off the rails. Without Kendrick, I’d be gone.

Transportation is most expensive. I have to Uber a lot lately as the busciscso hard on my back.

Most expensive is therapy. She does not take insurance.

Therapy she doesn't take insurance.

just use inhailers dr. says thats all I need now re evaluated every 4 mos.

I have a bad back & specialist surgeon is recommending a complete reconstruction with long hospital stay & rehab. I have a 10 year window, he says but at 74, I’m not interested in doing that. I have a spinal cord stim & see my pain specialist for procedure when needed. My cost is minimal as I submitted financial papers to office & they give me discounts. I use Optum RX mail order on my meds & most are covered as generic.
