I have a lot on my "to do" list today. So far, I have to scrap the list. I will have to take it up tomorrow. They are all tasks with immediate deadlines.
There was a big mix-up with my Enbrel today and the pharmacy was asking me for an over $600.00 co-pay today. It took an hour or so to get is squared away. Luckily, it was no more difficult than that. I am very fortunate, in that Amgen (the drug manufacturer) pays my monthly co-pay for now, as a part of their "good will" program.... or something like that. When you see Enbrel, Humira and similar meds advertised (as wonder drugs), please note these drugs cost $5500. to $7000. per MONTH!  Outrageous! Luckily, Amgen is picking up the bill for co-pays in some instances. My current co-pay is $642./month. . I would never be able to afford it otherwise. I have not been on Enbrel for very long and I do not yet know if it will work for me.
I am having very difficult nights. I hope they improve soon. 
I am hopeful!

I’m so sorry your feeling like crap ! I hope that it’s just allergies and not something brewing in your lung. For me this is prime time for me to get a hell of a Bronchitis.
When I was first put on Otezla for just fir psoriasis it was over 1500 ( my co pay) a month, with help from my Dermatologist and my pitiful income I was approved to receive it directly from the drug company for free.
My insurance covered Enbrel and now my Humira also covered at 100% it IS freaking crazy what these meds cost.
Enbrel help psoriatic arthritis well until about 1.5 years the Boom it just quit. Now on Humira shot 4 I’m hoping it helps. It is ridiculous what meds of all kinds cost.
I hope your body adjusts to the decreased dose of Seroquil ! You sleep but you need to have a working brain in the morning.
I hate that you are feeling so terrible. I demand you have a good day tomorrow
