Actemra
Has anyone taken Actemra infusions? I do not do well with drugs and my Rhumy has suggested it as I don't want to try the Mehotrexate due to all the side effects. She feels Actemra is worse on the body though. I don't want either. Started Dec. 0f 2014 on 60 mgs Prednisone for GCA after biopsy, had

Severe headache for past two days
Dear friends, I have had an increasing severity in headaches the past 2 days. I have GCA/PMR and am presently taking Prednisone 40mg. The pain has been in the temple areas, pain and pressure over left and now right eye. I also have pain in forehead. I have tried strong pain medications, cold wash cloths

Just wondering...
Hi Again. Looking for ideas, 3-4 times a month I get a tight, full feeling in my head & kinda foggy brain, nothing matters to Me, don't feel like eating, some grumpy, depressed, a real chore to put one foot in front of the other, just not Myself. All blood levels are normal. On Actemra double dose

RoActemra
Hi I'd love to know how others have got on with
RoActemra
injections - not infusions. I'm beginning
RoActemra
, just did the second weekly injection. The blurb says it might take 2-12 weeks to feel an improvement.

Re: discussion on Paddison Program
Clint, I saw your comments to several people and I have some questions. I was diagnosed with RA 23 years ago. I was on Enbrel for 14 years till I started developing infections, including pneumonia. Just this year I have tried Orencia and Actemra. Neither worked for me. Next the Dr. is recommending Rutuxin

RA for 4years with nonstop pain
Hi, I'm 51years female. Been on all kinds of medicines that treat RA. Unfortunately nothing helped to control inflammation nor pain. Tried biologics too. Cimzia and mabthera did nothing at all. Now I'm having actemra infusion every month. Nothing changed after 2 infusions. Any one felt better using actemra

GCA
Going on 2 years with GCA, on actemra to keep me off preds. All my labs are good but still don't feel like I did before GCA. I get worn out doing a load of laundry or trying to run the vacuum. Is that part for everyone? Don't want to whine but I have Our 6 yr old Great Granddaughter with us, I found

However, it seems my body doesn't want to like any drugs and I had an allergic

Rituximab for RA
Tried Embrel, Simponi ,
RoActemra
and now my rheumy wants to put me on Rituximab. My question is has it worked for anybody? I'm tired of using such strong medication myself without any positive results for my RA.
