Changing biologics

[Crazyjo]

Had another steroid infusion today, fingers crossed helps they said can have another one next week if need it. No longer having tocilizumab will be changing to simponi, not sure how long the change will take to implement, not to long hopefully. Feeling a little more positive today.

How many infusions if tocizilumab did you have? & what are they changing? Just curious as I've had 2 infusions but feel bloated & get stomach cramps..

I had 5 months of tocilizumab and it's that their changing to simponi. Hopefully the swop won't take to long. I found tocilizumab did nothing for me so been being topped up with steroid infusions which help
