Hi has anyone tried Baricitinib, sold under the brand name Olumiant

Hi. I have been on bariticinib for nine weeks now. I have RA and have found nothing works for the pain and joint swelling up to now. It has 8 proved my swelling knuckles and reduced the pain in my knees it did take a while though. The only side effect so far has been a few head aches and a small amount of weight gain but this could be down to the prednisolone increase earlier in the year

Thanks for your reply. I’m excited to see how it goes although I’ve only been talking it a few days. Ax

Hope it works for you. My right knuckle went down in the first week which was a reassuring sign something was happening but the other swellings are being stubborn but I’m sure it is working. We just need to be patient
