I am sitting here with ice pack on it as I write this message. Is there anyone on this medication currently

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Heart Disease: 28 Ways You Can Lower Your Risk
Interleukin-6 inhibitors include tocilizumab (Actemra) and sarilumab (
Kevzara
). These drugs work well for some RA patients, so unless you already have high cholesterol there’s no need to dismiss them out of hand.

Anyone currently on Kevzara?
I’m been cleared to start
Kevzara
and was wondering if anyone else is currently taking it. I’ve run out of things to try and because I had great luck with another IL6 blocker (Actemra), I’m hoping this goes well.

Flare after stopping Humira
I’m waiting for arrival of my new med
Kevzara
. So I have been nearly a month with no meds and I’m having a super flare, Worst I’ve felt in 18 years. Is this typical when you stop Humira or is it my body responding to no meds? Any remedies you can recommend while waiting on
Kevzara
to kick in?

Hello and update
My last post I was on prednisone and about to start a new biologic
Kevzara
. That was about 8 weeks ago now, my how time flies. To date I have been taken off my new biologic and being placed on a lesser dose due to white blood cell count taking a dive!

New Bioligic Kevzara Sarilumab
Had my first injection today of yet another biologic. I am praying this one works, otherwise, Plan B look into other methods! You can't help but feel anxious. I am still tapering off prednisone at 20mg tomorrow. Although I don't like taking it, it has got me through. Wishing everyone starting a new

Morning Has anybody had any experience with
Kevzara
? It’s relatively new drug that works by inhibiting interleukin 6, very similar to tocizilumab I’m told (which I was on previously).

So I started Sarilumab (
Kevzara
) in Mid June it’s a fortnightly injection you do at home. I had my first blood test 6 weeks in & it’s dropped my white blood count dangerously low, just like Tocizilumab did.
