I have psoriatic and osteo arthritis. I was taken off of simponi a couple of months ago and have just been put onto apremilast. I am struggling so much with the side effects that I have stopped it. Sickness, diarrhoea, lack of appetite, joint pain and finally low mood.Has anyone else got experience of this drug please?

I have informed my nurse so she will be aware tomorrow when she sees the email.

Sorry no experience of this drug. Good you have contacted rheumatologist. Sounds miserable. Was timpani not working?
