So here's the thing. While Keith was in the hospital his GI had a Prometheus test done to measure his infliximab antibodies. I'd already told him prior to this that there was no way I was putting Keith back on Remicade. Hubby says that Humira and Remicade are so close to the same thing the test could be for Humira (which I'd also already said no to, but, w/e) but I say that's total Bull.. erm, bologna! I say infliximab antibodies are just for Remicade!
Does anyone know this for certain? Either way my portion of this test is $120 and I'm angry as hell that the doc did it. Right before Christmas we have 2 separate hospital stays totaling 21 days, 3 surgeries, 3 MRI's 3 X-rays, every doctor that poked the head into the room.. and now... just because he felt like disregarding my wishes, another $120 bill. :ybatty: AUGH! I'm canceling Christmas except to send that man a shoebox full of coal.
Anyway... I'm rambling. Can anyone settle this?
