If this doesn't work, have your physicians office contact the Wyeth or Amgen local rep to help out. They are in the rheumatologist's office all of the time.
Good luck.

If you're a veteran, advise that you contact the VA. I've had a few friends in similar situations and they have been able to get scripts for less from the VA, having served in the military. Hope this helps.
