Default Started to take "Enbrel" for RA

Been taking Enbrel for about 5 weeks now and i must say the pain in the joints is way much better than it was before...The main reason i wasn't taking it was because my co-pay was gonna be around $400 a month...My doctor told me about Enbrel Co-pay assistance and Voila....no co-pay for 6 months and only $10 a month after that...

WORKS GREAT...

And yes this is motorcycle related because it allows me to hold up my bike better and ride much longer....After all i want to get at least 100000 miles within another 3 years....
