I’ve been on it for about 6 months now... no side effects and pretty good control. Good luck with it... after failing 4 biologics mainly because of side effects ... it’s been a bit of a relief! Would probably have more control of the disease if I could tolerate low dose methotrexate with it but sadly my liver hates M. !! Good luck.. it has been a bit of a life saver!!!🤞

I have to agree with you, although I still get tired and occasional flare too but this drug has suited me the best after trying about 8! As you say a bit of a life saver walking around better. I came of it for 5 weeks with a virus at Xmas and ended up using a stick.

I just started this one as well.

Not too bad so far. Some tummy upset, headache but nothing too overwhelming.

My rheumy nurse says there will be breakthrough side effects for the first couple of weeks as my body adjusts but she had really good things to say about it. Looking forward to some relief!!!
