What biologics have you tried and how have they helped?
Please remember that everyone is different, and what works for some may not work for others. Please respect everyone's experience and their decisions to try or not try certain medications.
Simponi Aria and my results have been similar to those described in this article. Unfortunately I have not been able to have the intervals shortened, however I will ask at my next visit.
Hopefully your next visit opens up that conversation and gives you some more options. I’m glad you’re planning to ask. It's so important to keep advocating for yourself. Keep us updated! Best wishes, Latoya (Team Member)
I hope I am posting the right spot. I have tried cosentyx and simponi and neither was of any help. No side effects. My main issue is nightime back pain. I will be seeing the rheumatologist in January and will likely try another one.
Nighttime back pain is the worst! It’s good that you’re following up with your rheumatologist next month. How are you managing the pain until then. Please keep us updated on your appointment if you're up for it. All the best, Latoya (Team Member)
I started with Remicade, now on Rinvoq. Rinvoq has relived my fatigue but not my overall pain. Do I may be going on another drug.
I'm sorry Rinvoq didn't do the complete job. Does your doctor have another biologic in mind? All the best, Kathy (Team member)
Simponi aria; it worked well for the first year, but after 2 1/2 years it would only work for less than half a month ( it should last for about two months ).
I'm sorry your biologic isn't as effective anymore. Unfortunately, you aren't alone. Here's an article by one of our health leaders who had a similar experience. Have you had a chance to discuss this with your doctor? Perhaps another biologic might work better? Warmly, Kathy (Team member)
