Hello all,
I know I havent been on much recently my crohns is doing pretty well inspite of all the stress I am going through. I had my date in court last week for my divorce. My exhusband is now thinking of removing me from his medical insurance. I said I would pay my portion to keep me on which he agreed to do. My concern is there have been lay offs at his work and if this occurs I can be on cobra for a while but then what? Does state insurance cover Humira? I am on disability and get food stamps now as well but My biggest fear is that if I need to go on medicade Humira will not be covered and it is the only med that seems to keep me in tolerable control.
Oh I also see a pain specialist now and the oxyfast(it is liquid vicodin) seems to help control my nighttime pain reasonably well. They wanted something for me that wasnt in a time release form since I dont have much of my colon and missing some of my small bowel. Theother option was something like the fentanyl patch again which i preffered not to do since the pain isnt constant. I just mix 0.25ml with 1 oz of liquid and down the hatch and since it is liquid it is fast acting.
