Experiences with

Anti TNF

Discovered private nhs employer has moved me from room on my own to room with other staff during my absence from work after emergency hip replacement surgery with no consultation 🙁have RA and on anti tnf medication and been in room on own since return to work in 2020 and choose to wear face mask still

These are all anti TNF drugs as was ENBREL (ETANERCEPT) which has worked well for me in the past. I am seeing the rheumatologist nurse on Tuesday morning so I would greatly appreciate any feedback from anyone who has/is on either of the 3 biologics named drugs above.

I would be interested to see what others have done when coming down with a cold or whatever just before an imminent vaccine; also what you tend to do re your usual methotrexate and, if applicable, Anti TNF meds.

Waiting to start a new anti - tnf biologic. Really worried the scalp/ hair issue will start again. The consultant said not to tolerate this as other drugs available and worst case an infusion.

Severe RA since 1995 has anyone had 2nd total hip replacement ,one keeps dislocating had it 22yrs .

I also have melanoma so cannot use anti TNF biologics. What happens now ?

My rheumy offered me Retuximab but it’s anti TNF so the opposite of the cancer treatment, I would rather stick with this or sulfasalazine if it doesn’t work. Any thoughts? xx

I was finally prescribed tocilizumab (you can't take anti-TNF biologics after cancer) this spring, but it immediately started suppressing my white blood count. All summer I underwent periods of coming off the toci, waiting until my WBC rose, restarting and watching it plummet again.

Hi there,My partner and I have been trying for 15 months (I'm 37 and he's 43) I had a fertility check up a few years ago when I was single and they found I had an amh of 44 with lots of follices and it all looked fine. Since coming off the pill I've had light, short periods lasting only 2 days with spotting

Just thought I'd share that my amh has increased from 0.4pmol/l(Oct 2024) to 2.7pmol/l which I strongly believe was a result of taking NMN supplement. I have been taking the same supplements etc for years and in fact my diet has got worse this last year.Only thing new was NMN. This is in NO way an advertisement

I have stage 4 endometriosis and previously had a bilateral cystectomy in June 2023. I have since had 2 rounds of IVF, both fresh transfers have ended in biochemical pregnancies. My endometrioma grew back prior to IVF and around 6cm. I had been on the waiting list for surgery to remove the endometrioma

Hello! I'm new to the forum and it would be interesting to hear if there are people here who have had pericarditis several times but got better and stayed away? My own story is that my mitral valve was repaired in 2023 and since June 2023 I have had new episodes of pericarditis. The last flare up was

I am a healthy 76 year old female and due to acid reflux and stomach symptoms I have just had an endoscopy but I wasn't able to speak to the consultant after the test. I was given a Gastroscopy Report as follows, but no explanation, so have had to resort to Chat GPT! 'Glycogenic acanthuses in the

Hi, just on my second cycle of IVF. First cycle was cancelled as I didn't respond well to the long protocol. Only had one follicle in left ovary and even that was too small. Right ovary didn't respond at all. On my second cycle, short protocol and just had my first scan this morning and nurse couldn't

Hi, fairly new to all of this, I have low AMH 41yrs and male fertility problems so we are doing IVF with ICSI. Our first round was with high stims but I didn't respond so the cycle was cancelled. I found another clinic who do a natural modified cycle where they use low doses of stims and aim to retrieve

Hi everyone, I just wanted to seek some advice and support. I was experiencing some irregular bleeding between periods and this was quite alarming as I normally have very regular periods. I did go to a gynaecologist for some tests and one of the tests was to check my AML levels which came back to be

Until this weekend, I have very much had a fairly positive experience with my meds. I have been on short protocol, 225 Menopur, Framedel and then had my trigger last night which was changed the last minute due to risk of hyper stimulation. Since having had my last jabs last night, I just absolutely haven

I've found out this evening that my latest embryo transfer has failed. I've had 3 IUI and 3 rounds of IVF (one transfer each time) using donor sperm. I've got low AMH. I have one son from successful donor sperm IUI 3 years ago. I feel that I'm done with IVF now. I don't want to use donor eggs etc.

Wondering if anyone who has been in a similar situation can help? I have low AMH (0.8) and am 43 (partner 46) so am working with low chances here, but want to give my own eggs the best possible shot that I can. I get around 4 eggs per cycle (apparently great for my AMH). In my first four cycles all

Basic questions with back story afterward as I’m sure many of you don’t want to read all of that but I can’t go on. My days are filled with pain worry and nothingness. I don’t know what to do… Questions Is there anyone that manages their hormones holistically? Herbs, supplements etc What are your
