Too expensive for me! I am the rare male victim and fortunately, its in remission. But I notice the side effects: tiredness, periodic leg muscle spasms, etc. No one likes living with an autoimmune condition. Unlike AIDs, its not necessarily fatal.

You may want to check it out anyway, that price is what they’re expecting to get from insurance companies and medicare/medicaid. (And they’ve been talking to insurers for a while now to get a good feel on what they’re willing to pay.) I believe I’ve seen something about assistance programs for those paying out-of-pocket.

Though, if you’re in remission, it may or may not be worth the risk and hassle of monthly infusions even if cost wasn’t an issue.
