I’ve been taking this for 10 months now and it’s helped immensely. My latest blood results are good and my rheumatologist says am currently in remission.
But as ever there are niggles. I’ve started getting itchier skin and am prone to hives.
I got a raised patch on my left arm a month or so after starting plus similar on my foot
Now it’s three patches on the arm plus a few other tiny spots. I darent scratch an itch as the skin will erupt.
Has anyone on Amgevita injection pens ever had similar?

It's always difficult working out whether it's the medication causing the allergic reaction, or something unrelated isn't it!
If you are otherwise doing well on the Amgevita, would it be worth discussing with the medical team taking a simple anti-histamine? That is, not trying to establish the cause but just trying to supress the reaction? I'm not usually one for taking this course of action, preferring to know what is causing what, but if it works and settles down, it would be beneficial without causing other problems?
