Experiences with

Anti TNF

I’ve tried an anti-TNF inhibitor adalimumab (Humira), and rituximab (Trumira) but to no avail. In both cases the rheumy nurses ensured that the DAS (disease activity score) was over 5.1.

I feel I want to give Baricitinib another go before trying another Anti-TNF... Any advice gratefully accepted :)

I have melanoma so cannot have anti TNF medication. I am worried the consultant will stop the Cosentyx as I don't want to lose the small improvement I have seen. So frustrating that the drugs take so long to take effect. My last steroid injection did not work either .

Anyway, transpires she hasn’t booked and now the hospital are saying they have no appointments for at least another fortnight

Hey everyone, I’m 20 weeks pregnant and been told I’ll need Anti D at 28 weeks.

Hi, I want som advice from the community. What do you do for pain? My neph said Tylenol only, which does nothing, and NO NSAIDS. I have sciatica, occipital neuralgia, and upper back pain, and some arthritis. I went to a Stretch Lab, thinking that might help. I use heat, and use my TENS. Everything

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I haven't seen many posts that are similar to my story, so I thought I'd share in the hope of helping someone out there. In Dec 2020 I discovered I was pregnant, just before my 37 birthday. At 6 weeks it was discovered it was ectopic and I had a fallopian

Hi I have been on Apixaban for some years, following Persistent AF, now resolved after an ablation in 2020. Like all senior citizens I get bouts of muscle pain.
