I took remicade many years ago and it made me very ill. But my niece is on it and she loves it.

Hi ya. You were on Humira which is a TNF blocker and so is Remicade and Simponi. Unfortunately with these meds one may work well for one person and not the other. Same with Side effects. I have heard a lot of great things about both. I call them two the big guns of the TNF blockers. Lol. Good luck and I hope which ever one, it works great for you!

I don't know which is better. They both work differently for different people I was never on Simponi so can't tell you pros and cons. I was on Remicade for about 10 years and it was wonderful. Taking it with methotrexate gave me my life back.

I took Remicade for 5 months and started having Migrances. Rheumy took me off and I am starting another infusion next week.

I can remember be wheeled into the infusion clinic because the pain was so bad. Then walking out on my own. Loved Remicade then 2 infusion later I have a severe allergic reaction to it. So sad I have not been on a medicine that even comes close to the result Remicade gave me.
