I am being offered Baricitinib (a new JAK inhibiter biologic) to replace the Abatacept I was on but had to give up due to the onset of vertigenous migraines.
I understand it has only been available in the UK for the last couple of months. Anybody taking it yet? Any feedback?
Thank you

I have been trialling it for 3.5 years and can say it works for me but I need dmards to top it up. Have you had RD for long? I know another person also on the trial who only takes this and is doing very well. , he had only just been diagnosed. I wish you well and hope you have great success with it.
Hi Mistydawn, I have had no side effects from it and would definitely choose this over injectables so easy to take just one tablet daily. Good luck on it and I wish you well. Carol x
I am interested to see how you get on. Sounds positive. If I am lucky enough to start it I have been told they will stop 2 dmards and just leave me on mtx. I have not had a biologic before.
