I noticed a difference very quickly with Rinvoq after a few days, but that wasn’t hard as my previous medication stopped me being able to walk as I had terrible swelling in my ankles and feet. However, I guess for some people it might take slightly longer.

Rinvoq has been my game changer, you still get some side effects like upper tract and urine infections, but then as we know we do tend to get side effects from RA drugs. I have been on Rinvoq for over 15 months now and it has helped reduce my inflammation. Of course nothing curbs the fatigue and I still have RA this just helps me lead a slightly better life

Thanks so much! Glad to hear it's working well for you, hope it ends up doing as well for me. Wishing you all the best.

Sorry can’t answer your question but I have been told this week that I am being swapped to this as my current biologic is no longer working. Just wanted to say good luck with it, really hope that it will work for us both.

Thank you. Was off for Covid Booster, couldn't take day of booster, and 7 days after. I mentioned a few problems, and was advised by AbbieCare to stop Rinvoq until they report and get results......still waiting! Best of luck to you!
