Golimumab (Simponi)
Has anyone got any recent experience with above biologic, I'm so desperate for it to work as my previous treatment (rituximab) had no effect. The information leaflet says it can take up to 12 weeks to work, has anyone had it work any quicker?

Help required!!
In addition to the MTX I also take an anti-TNF biologic
simponi
which I inject monthly. In the last week I can feel the dreaded disease creeping back and have had a frozen neck and shoulders since yesterday. I have spoken to rheumy and the suggestion is to add lefludomine ?

He's offering
Simponi
Aria infusion or Humira pens. (I went from mild to moderate RA in 6 months.) I'm anxious after reading both info packets, can anyone share their experiences with either or both drugs?

simponi
' (golimumab). I have psoriatic arthritis. This is my second biological drug that I have been on, so far they have both not been able to help me. I have been on
simponi

I need a little help from my friends
Have been diagnosed for 5 years andhaving tried a few drugs have been on subcut mtx and
simponi
biologic for 6 months and folic acid daily. I've had great results until the last couple of months where I've got itchy rash on face and have begun to feel nauseous the whole day after taking Mtx.

Pains in my shins??
I continue with hydroxychloroquine but have
simponi
injections every month (tried a different one but it wasn't as successful!) Recently had the injection increased to 100mg per month. The only difference I have noticed is that my hair is falling out in handfuls again!

Bats is back
I'm on
Simponi
(gollumab preciousss, yessss) and it's working great. My Crp is normal, my joints aren't swollen, yaaaaay! The only catch is that I'm still in pain. A lot. That's where the diagnosis of fibro comes in.

Has anyone experienced Glaucoma or autoimmune liver diseases/liver problems with RA medications?
I am supposed to start on
Simponi
once my liver enzymes go down. Has anyone experienced Glaucoma or autoimmune liver diseases or liver problems with RA medications? If so, how are you treating it? I’m feeling overwhelmed and anxious not quite sure where to turn. Looking for advice or feedback.

Simponi
I didn't like the look of it and after much consultation we agreed the 2nd best option was
Simponi
for which I've now had TB/HepB tests and wait result. Don't know much about this self injectable med but just have to hope it works if tests are negative.

Preparing for winter - tips and tricks?
My garden got in a bit of a state as this year the
Simponi
stopped working, as I have struggled to walk, let alone try and work in the garden (much to fastidious neighbour's irritation...but that's a discussion for another thread maybe). So my harvest isn't all that brilliant, but I'll manage.

Vascular EDS...not even sure where to start
The
Simponi
may not be working so well anymore - I have an appointment with my biologics clinic in a month but I have no idea what I'm going in for, so I will have to call in and find out. Recently, my ex-husband called me and asked me to get a referral for EDS.

Colitis
I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 18 months ago and have been on several different medications, none of which seems to be working for me so it has been suggested by my Consultant that I go on a drug called
Simponi
(gulimumab).
