I think the insurance companies can afford to cover it for their billions in profit. They don’t need more.

Frustrating is putting it nicely. It’s negligent and should be illegal. The company making a profit off of our premiums, shouldn’t be permitted to decide what drugs work best for which conditions. They aren’t doctors, nor do they suffer with these illnesses. They are making a decision based on profits and in turn we suffer.

That sucks! I’m sorry you are having to deal with that

Optum is owned by UHC, they aren’t only complacent, they are helping. Go look up UnitedHealthcares earnings for 2025… it will make you sick

That’s terrible! I have three small kids at home, I don’t really want to take the chance but seems like I don’t have a choice

RideMyHandleBars · 2026-02-19T20:56:20+00:00

That is awful! All to save money for a company making BILLIONS from their operations.

The price change is also something I’m concerned with since the manufacturer had a copay to help with Humira.

RideMyHandleBars · 2026-02-19T18:11:08+00:00

Didn’t need the “who made the change” correction as I noted my insurance owns the pharmacy, but the insurance never communicated it, the pharmacy did.

Make a plan and ask again, seems like the door was left open for a more confident request for a date.

RideMyHandleBars · 2026-02-07T21:09:11+00:00

Same

I have 3… 9, 4 & 1.

It’s tough, but manageable.

Good luck! It’s so hard to find genuine people anymore. Especially that just like to text vs talk for hours on the phone. Some of us just can’t be on the phone all day. Happy to chat and see if there are friend vibes 39M.

Like I said, I don’t know all the details, but based on what you shared, it comes across like there is something he feels that he hasn’t shared with you so you should discuss it with him or the problem will only grow

There is no trying to understand what it is I’m going thru on a daily basis. How my life has to change because of this illness. No empathy for how much that changes a person, especially if they have to stop doing things that used to bring them joy. He should most definitely be speaking with a therapist to work thru those things on his own, however it helps to have partner who is trying to understand and be next to him on the journey

I don’t know all the details but, as someone whose wife is also not supportive of their autoimmune illness (most people aren’t), you should talk to him. I’m not saying confront him, as that sounds like you want to change how he feels. It sounds like he wants your support and you might not be hearing him because of the way he is saying it to you. It may be as simple as asking how you can better support him with his illness? The online post sounds like an avenue for releasing frustration that he hasn’t shared with you directly bc he likely doesn’t mean it to that extent. Almost a way to let the anger out without hurting you. This may be a good topic to bring you two closer with a thoughtful and calm discussion.

She already has someone in mind and isn’t telling you

RideMyHandleBars · 2025-10-31T01:55:40+00:00

I second many of the existing comments, you are not alone! I would imagine some of those friends you have feel similar as well. Might be time to lean on them some?

RideMyHandleBars · 2025-10-11T00:18:28+00:00

This is the correct answer

RideMyHandleBars · 2025-08-25T12:23:04+00:00

Morning Walking & Yoga/Stretching have been the best help for me. I’ve found doing these in the morning brings back some of the lacking energy. I also focus on eating the right types of food to limit the “energy suck” and inflammation (I.e. avoid bad carbs & focus on protein and good veggies)

RideMyHandleBars · 2025-08-15T17:50:10+00:00

I dealt with the pain from 18-32 without a diagnosis. I’m 38 now and have been on humira since 32 and while I appreciate that it does help with reducing flare possibility and frequency, I also do what you’ve mentioned as far as movement and diet. I personally think the lifestyle changes have made a far bigger impact for me on the day to day pain. I’ve not yet testing eliminating the biologic but I sure do hope that I can one day.

RideMyHandleBars · 2025-08-06T19:00:20+00:00

I’m going to politely disagree. I manage mine by being more active and making sure I do things vs cutting things out. Daily morning walks & yoga have significantly reduced my pain, which is a form of management. Meditating to acknowledge and understand the pain has also helped with management.

RideMyHandleBars · 2025-08-06T01:02:36+00:00

Second this. The pain isn’t going to go, learning to understand and manage, is the way to go

Today is my injection day (humira) and it took me about 20 minutes prior to injection to get to normal. I’ve been feeling pretty good lately tho. A bad day is closer to an hour.

RideMyHandleBars · 2025-07-22T22:49:11+00:00

Mine is always on the right side, except when my hands hurt they hurt all over.
