Tocilizumab - success or problems experienced please?

[Brushwork]

I have read lots about how it works, the pitfalls the time it might take to work and how it is administered.

Had so many failures, drugs that don't work or that I have bad reactions too, so am a tad trepidatious about this one but very hopeful too, that this might just be the one that works for me.

Wonder if you would share your experience of this one?

Morning Brushwork ,

Have had 6 Tocilizumab monthly hospital infusions , all good , no side effects , no pain , still taking 20 mgs Leflunomide daily and 20 mgs Omeprazole daily . Rheumy nurse tells me inflammation marker currently at 1 , so all good . Finding increased level of energy , so doing more cleaning about the house - at last !
