Moving??

Californiadreamer profile image

Hi everyone

I am currently on my 6th week of Benpali injections and I'm very hopeful for good results.

My question is this...we have put our house on the market, planning to downsize (finally)

If we move to a different region will I be able to continue getting Benpali?

How do I get a new rheumatologist, or find a good one.?

Hope some of you kind people can help

Thank-you..

I've recently returned to the UK full time as my husband has been working abroad. Whilst my husband has been away, our international health insurance has been paying for my Enbrel injections which the private rheumatologist here in the U.K. said I needed. I have an appointment for the NHS rheumatologist in July. I'm very anxious that they will not let me have enbrel( or Benepali) I'm terrified that I will end up not being able to move. Clemmie

Hi there, I can't see why there would be an issue with your being kept on your current drug (etanercept), especially if you're willing to go on benepali, which is substantially cheaper than enbrel but is its bio similar. As long as your new rheumatologist has access to your previous notes, and you can say you're benefitting from it (if you are) then I'd imagine they'll just keep the status quo initially.

I hope all goes well for you x

That's what I'm hoping. I've got copies of all the private rheumatologist letters etc which I'm going to take with me to the appointment. Clemmie

Currently, there are two main options for moving, which are used throughout the civilized world-on their own and through the company. You need to make a sydney to melbourne removalist manandhisvan.com.au/interst..., specify what you need to do before ordering transport, and what you need to do after. I even asked my friends, and, importantly, these tips will be useful both during an independent move, and during a move carried out with the help of specialists from a moving company. In general, it is easier for me to drag something myself, but when the company takes over everything, it is much safer

You misunderstood me - I meant that I was concerned that I would be unable to physically move due to arthritis. In any event, this post was 4 years ago.
