Ooh jolly good. Hope it works as well for you as it does for me. Took several weeks to get going and didn't think it was going to do anything, but I've just done my 11th injection now and looking back realise I've been pretty good for the past few weeks. My CRP and ESR have both gone down, though not as yet 'satisfactory'. Maybe at the next blood test there will be further improvement. Put it this way, though, I'm not taking any pain relief or any other RA meds so guess it must be doing something eh?! All the best on your Benepali journey! Keep us posted!

Hi. Glad it was fine. How have you been since ?

I also started Benepali that day and it went well. I had been warned it was more painful than MTX injection but it wasn't that much different...more stinging afterwards mainly. Strangely, only a few hours later I found my hands felt less stiff so now my hopes are high.

I was tired the next day and headache on and off but not as bad as early MTX effects.

Good luck with it Deejojo.
