I've slain the beast... for now.

 

            So I've been on Humera for about a year now. I will say it was not easy getting Humera how I get it now, and before I started with the free program I'm on now, this stuff costed a damn fortune. I still owe about $600 left after a small insurance miscommunication that I had in the beginning. In the beginning I had a starter trial which thanks to a payment assistance program I enrolled in only cost me $5 for the first two months. It was when this program ran out (without telling me) that insurance tried to bill me $2800 for a one month supply... which was 2 doses taken every 14 days. What a freaking joke. I did however see absolutely amazing results which I had not seen in over 10 years, so I was hell-bent on finding some way to make it work. I tried assistance program one after another before finally contacting the actual company that makes the stuff and sending them a sob letter, convincing them to let me into their "Humera patient assistant program" that lets me get it for free because, well lets face it... nobody can afford 2800 bucks a month.

It was a pain in the ass to finally get going, but hey, I'm saving tons of money and I'm psoriasis free!! I said I would do anything, so weeks of phone tag and begging etc and I'm finally here. Not everyone will find a way to get it free, but it's worth a try. Print the thing up and ask the doc.

 In order to take Humera you have to have your doctor say it's okay, and get a blood test to make sure it's okay for your body to take.

         Humira (Humera) is a TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-blocker. It works by blocking a protein (TNF-alpha) found in the body's immune system that causes joint swelling and inflammation.
Humira (Humera) is used to reduce the symptoms, prevent bone damage, and improving physical function in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have not had a good response to other arthritis medicines. It can be used alone or with other medicines.

         Humira (Humera) is also used to treat juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and plaque psoriasis. Humira (Humera) is used in the treatment of Crohn's disease after other drugs have been tried without successful treatment of symptoms."

 Not only did it get rid of my psoriasis near completely, but I was having super wicked back pain, and my right ankle was so sore in the morning that I was literally calling into work every once in a while when it was too painful to take. That's all gone now. I literally feel like I've gotten my life back, no joke. I am truly blessed, and I may sound like some humera commercial right now but I don't give a shit, this stuff worked beautifully for me and I am so thankful I am sharing my experience so hopefully someone else out there who is like I was, depressed, near hopeless, can maybe find help.

Heres some photos of me now. Praise the fucking lord seriously, I'm a normal human again!!!
