Am starting this on Tuesday. Has any one had experience of this drug. Can no longer tolerate Methotroxate. Am suffering significant aches on joints causing me not to sleep on a night. My shoulders especially. Finding walking more difficult. So tired of this condition.

Look up my previous comments and be heartened for me this is magic, but the pain when first on it got worse not better. So give it a good go after a couple of weeks it hurts more then one day it just got better. If I did not know I was taking would not have RA. Its given me more energy and a norm life.

It worked for me for a few years with no side effects. Good luck ☺

I've just started it too - about five days. So far so good. I feel as though the inflammation is going down but its early days. I certainly havent increased pain - yet
