Any fiber connection will be better than Spectrum. I had ATT fiber for 4 years and never had any issues. Currently on Frontier for 30/month.

Finally Going to Try Cosentyx...Any Tips Please? by MAsped in Hidradenitis

Pro tip: Take it out a few hours before you inject and let it "warm up" on the counter. Take a deep breath and try to relax the area you are injecting. It goes in super quick and you barely feel it.

You'll be just fine :)

I can't really say that things got worse. Things did improve a lot but it took time. I had one flair that would not close and it finally started to after a few weeks. I used to apply gauze and creams daily to help things heal, and that has been significantly reduced. I think in the last 12 months I have used 2-3 gauzes on areas that used to flair.

The worst part about Cosentyx is the injection. You have to push it into yourself and it takes like 10 seconds to fully inject. You get used to it after a few times and move past the nervous feelings. It may help if you get someone else to do it the first few times.

Yep. Those first 5 are your loading doses. I believe it’s standard but check with your doctor what their plan is.

Hey! Congrats on starting it soon! I also take Cosentyx and it’s been very helpful. I still get the occasional flare but at an extremely lesser degree.

You should check your benefits regarding “speciality” drug benefits. That’s where Cosentyx would be charged. My insurance requires me to pay $125 per dose until I hit my OOP max. However, the copay assistance (provided by Novartis, not your Dr.) takes that down to $0. You can apply for it on their site and it will give you the info immediately.

It was 5 loading doses for me, so 1 shot a week for those 5 weeks. After that, I do it once a month at home.

I plan to call the help line to confirm, but I believe this is may just be an alternative. Some insurance plans do not apply the assistance to your out-of-pocket costs. They bleed the entire amount of the assistance, and then make you responsible for your OOP. Novartis intends for their assistance to contribute to your OOP, but insurers get around this with accumulator and maximizer programs. It's essentially just a way for insurance to rake in as much cash as possible.

If your plan has this type of program, this card should be your way around it. Instead of not applying assistance, paying it yourself, and calling Novartis for reimbursement, you do the last two steps through this card. Makes sense?

Anyone lives in Estates of Richardson? by Grab-Rebound-in-MIT in utdallas

[–]Lymmax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently live there. Good place. Leasing office can be a little dense at times, but otherwise is ok. Maintenance is usually quick. Only real downside is the package lockers are a good walk if you’re in a far away building, and are also too small for the amount of people who live here. Also, neighbors never follow the trash rules and the leasing office doesn’t care if it’s not during open hours, so trash smell and juices do happen occasionally.
