Anyone gotten insuance remibursement yet?
I am going for my 2nd infusion tomorrow - which my neuro is requiring a $2500 payment for until insurance companies start paying.

Is anyone else getting intracath Methotrexate? I am going for my second infusion of this med next week. I have not noticed any beneficial effects yet. Is anyone else getting an immunosuppressant injected directly into their spine? I could not find any research supporting my neurologist’s STRONG reco...
