You will find some posts if you put in "tocilizumab" as I think most people refer to it as that on here.

And there is factual information, as ever, on the NRAS website.

I've been on Actemra injections for about 18 months. It worked really quickly for me, I noticed an improvement within a month-unlike other drugs which have taken months before any benefit. I've felt really well on this drug until recently, I'm having lots of flaring at the moment. Best of luck with it and I hope its a really successful treatment for you.

Yes, i have my injection once a week now for over a year, administered by my hubby, very simple procedure, Biologics email every month for stock check, and is delivered by fridge van, You need to store drug in the fridge, between 5c to 8c. After a couple of other drugs had failed to do anything, this one did the trick for me, and have bought my levels way down.
