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.

  1. Simponi Aura and Cimzia

    1. I’ve tried cymzia Actemra humira xanjtax the first three did nothing the fourth worked but I had an allergic reaction now they want to do infusions

    2. How do you feel about switching to transfusions? Here's a guide that talks about the difference between injectables and transfusions. Hopefully it will give you some idea of what to expect or information to talk to your doctors about. Warmly, Kathy (Team member)

  2. Humira - very helpful but enthesitis pain persisted, Hyrimox - similar but then experienced more pain, enbrel - best at relieving back pain and enthesitis

    1. Thanks for sharing. How long were you on each one? Warmly, Kathy (Team member)

  3. I started with Humira (1 year), Enbrel (1 year) Cosentyx (almost 5 years) …today starting Talz. Fingers crossed because I’m feeling awful right now. Boo!

    1. Best of luck with your new treatment. Keep us posted on how it works for you. Warmly, Kathy (Team member)
