reactions to taking this injection

I've just had my 2nd amgevita injection, up to press all is good. Ring your rheumy team if you're having problems.

absolutely nothing - good or bad!

Been on it for nearly 2 years and has really helped me so far.

I was on it for 5 months and it didn’t help at all, what I did have was : two colds , a chest infection and two doses of conjunctivitis all within the first two months of this year. I am now off it and waiting for my next Rheumy appointment to find out what they will try next. Hope you fare better.

I've been on it since January so far so good no side effects it did take few months to work for me tho so hang in there. Make sure you take the injection out of the fridge few hours before injecting as helps with the stinging . Hope it works for you Josca ☺️

thank you -I do remove from fridge which does help and think I’m feeling a little better now x

[Bothamsall]

thanks for all your answers certainly mixed outcomes!

Sadly it had absolutely no effect on me at all. My highly active RA at the time raged on and on. I was on Amgevita 3 months and got worse and worse. The Rheumy then did a blood test and found I was making antibodies against it, so then stopped it!

[Bothamsall in reply to Blodynhaul]

oh dear so sorry to hear that but I do hope your next med is successful! X

[Blodynhaul in reply to Bothamsall]

Thanks Josca! Are you doing all right on it? take care

[Bothamsall in reply to Blodynhaul]

in some ways -yes but waiting on bloods and rheumatologist appointment to see if it’s still suitable

[Blodynhaul in reply to Bothamsall]

GOOD LUCK!
