I am the same. I start ok on the biologics and after a few months I get problems with the neutrophil levels. I have been on Cimzia, Humira and now on tocilizumab. The medication is working for the RA, so find it very frustrating. I am having monthly blood test and when it is low missing a dose. Hopefully I can continue with it as it is working well. I have energy and no pain. Good luck, I hope they manage to find a medication that works well for you.
