Simponi
I wonder if anyone has any experiences of being on
Simponi
. I had my first injection on 11 January. The next day I felt very very tired and this went on. I kind of expected it having been on humira and enbrel before.

Golimumab (Simponi)
Hello everyone. I had my second injection a week ago after other drugs failed. So far all I feel is itchy all over with smallish outbreaks of a red rash in various places. After many side effects in the past I really need this drug to work, is anyone else on it please? Experiences? Will the itching eventually

Biologic dilemma!
My options are
Simponi
, Cimzia or Remicade. Enbrel caused facial/lip swelling after the 5th injection and Humira caused high BP and palpitations.

Fatigue
I am taking methotrexate and just started injecting
simponi
( had 2) and a few days ago started with pain starting at my shoulder blade across to my neck. Most of the pain is muscle pain but I have such bad fatigue like I get when I'm having a flare but my joint isn't warm or red or appear swollen.

humira causing allergic reaction
What is left after
Simponi
and is it not true that the further along you have to go with the newer drugs the less they know about their long term effects. Also does any one know why this swelling and itchyness happens.

Tocilizumab
I've had lots of biologics without success including humira, enbrel and
simponi
. I'm hoping this will help as its my only remaining option at this time. However I wondered if anyone had any side effects as I'm having my first dose 4 days before I go on holiday?!

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.

Disappointed
I know I got to give it more time but after feeling a little less stiff after my
simponi
injection last Friday. I now feel worse then ever. Very hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Just feel like hiding away in bed which I know is impossible and a silly thing to do anyway.

If I move out if the area will I still get my Simponi?
Hi, I have been on
Simponi
for almost 4 months, so have had 3 injections up to now and seeing good results . I was told I was only eligible for
Simponi
because I lived in an area that had full NHS funding.
