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. Humira, Taltz, Cosentyx, Tremfya, now biosimilar Enbrel with MTx…all stopped working within two years ? Neutralizing antibodies?

    1. the Embrel now but at 6 weeks so too soon to tell, I think they need better testing to focus the treatment

    2. ,
      I agree, and can only hope that Embrel will make a difference.
      Keep us updated when you get a chance.

    1. Cosentyx, Enbrel

      1. Thanks for sharing this with us. How have they helped or not helped? The first biologic often fails, and a second, third, or fourth helps better. Hoping you're on an effective treatment plan. Warmly - Rebecca (team member)

    2. I started on Humira and not only was it ineffective, I had extreme fatigue the 3 months I was on it.

      I've been on Enbrel for a month now and noticed the fatigue lifted 48 hours after my first injection. After every weekly injection I've experienced more improvement.

      The day before my next injection my symptoms start to get worse but it takes time to get the immune system tamped down. So far I'm really happy the Enbrel is working for me.

      1. It's wonderful you are having positive results from Enbrel. Trialing and waiting for results can be difficult but so worth it. Thanks for sharing. Wishing you healing and peace. Rebecca (team member)

      2. thank you, so much. It's nice to have energy again. And I get to go be with people instead of stuck at home.

        Summer is my favorite season and I'm going to enjoy every minute.
