It's an anti-TNF drug so it might be worth considering a different type of biological treatment. I would think you've given it enough time to see if there's going to be any benefit, so contact the rheumy team for a discussion about alternatives. Have a look at the treatment pages on the NRAS website so that you are prepared with some background information for the discussion.

Unfortunately it is still trial and error finding the correct treatment for each of us, despite the advances in finding out the type of immune overactivity that each of us might have. It seems that the more research, the more complicated the immune system becomes!

Best of luck with finding something that works for you.
