Well, it can be done! I got a letter today stating that The-insurance-company-who-will-not-be-named has reconsidered and approved my appeal for Orencia.Orencia is a RA drug that is not a biologic like Enbrel. I can not take Enbrel because I got meningitis while on Enbrel. While I was researching my appreal, I found articles written about other people on biologic medicines who also got meningitis. There was also another article that clearly stated that once a person got meningitis on a biologic, the person should never go back on that same type of biologic because the risk is too great.
Now I just have to wait for the doctor to send the prescription to the pharmacy and Voila! I will be on Orencia. I just have to see what the co-pay for this drug is going to be. But today I celebrate.
Until tomorrow...
