[sunflower68]

Hi,

What are your experiences from Olumiant (baricitinib) or Xeljanz (tofacitinib) ?

Side effects?

I’m on Simponi rigth now but will maybe change to this new ”drug”.

I have a very active RA

Kind regards

Hi.

I’ve been on xeljanz for the last two and a half years. Started taking it in the US after Humira did nothing for me for two years. I was in really bad shape.

Within two weeks of starting xeljanz, almost all pain had gone. I’ve had maybe 2-3 flares in the time I’ve been on xeljanz!

Best part is.....no injections! No infusions! I can’t remember the last time I was needle-free!
