Hi Patricia_210

I have had RA for about 15 years now, I was on Enbrel which worked for me, then they switched to Benepali which I will have been on for 3 years this October, for me Benepali is not working as well,

Yes I agree with you about the injection hurting, I have just done my injection last Sunday, I did it in the back of my arm towards the top,my husband usually helps me, but I managed it by myself, it was much better!!

Try it out for yourself,

Let me know how you get on

I was on Benapali I found the injection ok I injected into top of my leg. I found taking it out of fridge for 1hour before instead of the 3o mins recommended made a big difference. Sadly it stopped working for me and I am now waiting to try my 4th Biologic.

Yes, I always take it out of the fridge about 1 hour too, I am just waiting for some tests to see if it's the benepali that's stopped working!!

Good luck

I am taking baricitnib which is a tablet. Early days yet but a lot easier than injections.
