I was on Enbrel and didn't have any stones, but the medicine did not work for me. I do not have a history of stones prior to any autoimmune diagnosis either. I had to change to Remicade and that is when I started having stones. I was on it for about 1.5 years, and had stones for about last 9 months.

Thank you. I hope Actemra works for you, it has been much better for me. I do have some side effects that I deal with, like mouth ulcers.

What kind of stones? Gall stones or kidney stones? I have just started on Humira and have a history of both. Won't have gallstones. They took out my gall bladder! I think I would rather have another baby than have another kidney stone (I am 58). I hope not to have either. Hope you have a better result with the new meds.

I was on Humira only but never had stones. Maybe it's not the med maybe something else
