I have been on Actemra for a few years now and it has helped a lot. I have very few flare ups and no side effects.

Does anyone feel the actemra is helping?i havent tried it nor heard much about it myself?...i feel like if your comfortable with what you want to do than do it. Life is to short. Have fun if you can...❤

I’ve been on atemera now 6 months and haven’t had any problems with infection

I had 2 surgeries will on Actemra and didn't get an infection. But if you have MRIs or other scans they will make you remove them. I now have a plate and 5 screws in my foot . Do they count. You may be getting hardware in your future.

I have an infected tooth and need a root canal. I just started Actemra in June after being on Simponi for years. This spot has been on my gums and i was worried it was cancer. My mom just passed July 31 from stage 4 lung cancer so when this sore lingered i was terrifyed. My rhumatologist just finally came put and said the treatments were probably keeping the sore from healing. Im a month over due now on treatments since dentists dont understand our urgency in getting things like this fixed immediately. I see him on the 26 but thats only the consult. Wholnows when the actual procedure will be and then the wait time after to start back on treatments. I ont be able to walk by then. I was actually able to get around without my cane. I wish the RA commnity would send articles on the importance of working with patients on DMARDS, Biologics, etc.
