Hi, I’m a newbie to this forum, I have RA have had no treatment for this condition for over 5 years. Gotta say it’s been hell lol. Just been offered a new drug called Olumiant which is brilliant news for me because I’m struggling a bit to say the least. Have low +++ immune system due to failed treatments in the past. I would be very interested to know if anyone is taking this new treatment and how they’re doing on it ?

There are a couple of people on here who use it, use the search box top right and look for barictinib or olumiant. One person is Bernese62 here...

Thanks for your replies to my post. I’ve found real life people who are on or have tried olumiant on this forum. I have to say I’m much more positive about giving this a go. Got to say I was Very nervous about it but looks good. I’m having an awful time atm have been for longer than I care to remember was kind of thinking that things probably couldn’t be any worse. I’m going to be kicking ass very soon (hopefully) think my das score has been off the scale for far too long need to take action and have faith in new rheumatology consultant who is brilliant I’m not just a number anymore and immunology consultant too.
