Hi all,
I’m looking for your experience and feedback please.
Around 2 years ago I was diagnosed with AS although my worst symptoms are in the tendons.
I’ve been on biosimilar (amgevita) for about 6 months now. They were working really well for the first 2/3 months and all of my old aches were gone. However in the last few months I have experienced tendonitis in “new” areas that I didn’t have before and I’ve found it quite demoralising. On the plus side most of the “old” tendon pain is still gone.
Does anyone else have similar experience to this? Or advice? I spoke to my rheumatologist on the phone who said that it was “disappointing” and he had hoped that the medication would have been effective on all pain, old or new.
Could it be the case that this biologic/biosimilar is good but not the best one for me?
Thanks in advance for any advice or shared experience.
