Change from entanercept to Adalimumab

Anyone had to switch injections , was it for the better?

I switched from Adalimumab to Kineret to Tocilizumab.

Adalimumab I had a major reaction to, my hands and feet weee covered with doughnut shaped super painful and hard blisters, then kineret (anakinra) was a daily subQ injection, tried it for 49 days with no affect on symptoms, then got on tocilizumab where it took my crp down from 159 to less than 0.2 in a month. Been on it now for 7 years.

I switched from Etanercept to Adalimumab last year but to little effect but now switched to Tocilizumab 7 months ago which is pretty effective - my inflammation levels are pretty normal for the first time in years.
