New RA drug
I was on Arava and it almost killed me, so my rheumatologist put me on
Xeljanz
XR. I have to tell you. It is a wonder drug. I have never felt so good. Very little pain and I actually walked up a flight of stairs the other day. I hadn't done that since 2011.

unusual symptoms of ra
At the moment I am waiting for
Xeljanz
to work and am on prednisolone which I hate (it blows me up like a balloon) but heh hoh I'd rather have that than the pain.

Xeljanz vs cimzia
I don't know much about either
xeljanz
or cimzia so that's why I'm asking here and hoping ppl will share experience with them if ever taken. Thanks again I really appreciate this group for insights and support.

I hate to be a bother, but I am so scared (normally I am not such a baby)
As suggested I contacted my rheumy by email to ask about when I should stop taking my Sulphasalazine 500 mg 2x daily and recently started (two-three weeks ago) Prednisone 5mg 1x daily and
Xeljanz
ER 1x daily.

Just started Prednisone 5mg and Xeljanz ER to go along with the Sulphasalazine....
I started the
Xeljanz
and Prednisone after the tests on Friday. I'll call him on Monday to let him know about the increase, which to me seems quite alarming. In the meantime, has anyone experienced any increased BP with the combination of Sulphasalazine, Prednisone and
Xeljanz
?

Rheumatoid arthritis for many years
I started on the
Xeljanz
last year but we are finding my ESR continues to climb monthly. I have also had Angina for only a few years less and I am guessing that the chronic inflammation is causing the angina to become more frequent.

Xeljanz newbie
Had to stop the
Xeljanz
for antibiotic? Gotten infections from
Xeljanz
? Felt worse than before after stopping it? (Wondering if I should not have stopped cold turkey). Hoping when I start back it is quick to react. Thanks for any advice/feedback. I am just frustrated.

Actemra quit working - now what?
Perhaps
Xeljanz
? I'm meeting with my rheumatologist next week to discuss this latest development. I've weaned down to 5mg of prednisone and I'm going to continue to wean off despite the pain. I've been on it for far too long.

Treatment Options in the UK
I am on
Xeljanz
and methotrexate and this combination seems to have helped the most. I tried Humira injections for more than a year, but it seemed to make no difference at all.

Giving up on Western world meds....
I have gone through every biologic except for
Xeljanz
which is $2,000 a month and not realistic considering I had to retire and am now on disability.

Avulsions fracture with RA
I have had RA for 12 years and am currently on
Xeljanz
. I sustained an avulsions fracture this weekend and am wondering is this might have been exacerbated by the RA, meds, or perhaps a cortisone injection I received less than 2 weeks ago. Any thoughts?

Long battle with RA
Xeljanz
is a once daily pill w/ no injection. Hoping this one hits nail on the head! Pain as you all know is brutal, exhausting, frustrating . I'm still working FT and a mom to 3 boys. Any responses would be great! Carry on fellow warriors! 👍🏻

New to the group
So now I'm on
xeljanz
XR so far no improvement but I have to give it two months per my rheumy. I do have tramadol and in worst cases Tylenol three's. I have enjoyed this group reading all you post makes me feel like I'm not alone in this battle. Almost all you have shared I can relate.

New here!!
Most recently,
Xeljanz
, and had to discontinue due to needing a hip replacement. Now I have 4 titanium joints keeping me together. It's been a freaky, frightening experience that at times leaves me feeling a bit lonely. I'm happy but missing out on important things going on.

Any one heard of this? Sounds interesting.
