Golimumab reviews please!!!

[-Mii]

Anyone using Golimumab? As really nervous on starting a biologic! ....

[Sueymo]

I've been on Simponi for 6 months and feel really great. Tiredness, fatigue much improved, some pain in my hands. Do it, you are so well monitored on these drugs.

Good luck

Sue

Thank you sue I've been on methetrexate 15 mg injections 5years now so ready for it! ..... Any side effects?

[Sueymo in reply to -Mii]

Sometimes my skin can feel itchy, occasionally feeling nauseous and diarrhoea, normally a few days after the injection, but not every month.

But this is small fry compared to when I wasn't having Simponi. I really hope you get back enjoyment of life.

I am on 20mgs of mtx and send to have painful mouth ulcers, but now take folic acid 6 days a week.

Hi I started on CIMZIA 4 weeks ago. Feeling nervous is understandable, but the support I received from Health at Home was very reassuring, as was the support from other users on this forum. I hope it will be the same for Golimumab, I know nothing about that biologic.

However the difference Cimzia has made to my RA is huge and in a very short period So deep breath and do it.

Best Wishes,

Smithfield
