Will you try the implant SetPoint System, a vagus nerve stimulator for RA, which received FDA approval in July 2025?

I have RA which is resistant to medicine. I tried injections, Reinvoq, and now I am in Remicade infusions. This implant seems promising, it is a new non-medicine treatment which does not impact our immune system. Do you know anything about it.

I already asked my rheumatologist about it. I’m on Enbrel and it helps but I’m totally terrified of losing my job, because that drug is morbidly expensive. If I got the implant I might be able to get off Enbrel. My doctor is so far advising against it and insurance probably won’t cover it:(
