I have only just started taking them 4 weeks ago roughly. So thank you for asking the question as I have been wondering the same thing. Thanks for that as at least it wasn't just me. Fab to know other people ask the same questions. Thanks again.

Hi Tara, I'm about 6 weeks in and still feeling the pain so I'm hopeful for the future! Sarah

Hi SLS2103, it never really worked for me. Was on it alone for a few months. I’m now on a cocktail of Cimzia, Sulfa and a very small dose of Methotrexate since the Methotrexate is supposed to boost the others.
