I've been doing Simponi infusions for over 4 years. I's the only biologic that has really helped me. I have severe RA and wouldn't be able to walk without it. I know the side effects but I also know "rheumatoid arthritis" and it's effects on my body. When dealing with this disease you must try to improve the quality of your life, there is no cure only management, Simponi has helped me. I hope it helps you too. I always wash my hands, try to stay clear of sick people and if I get sick, I seek medical attention as soon as I can, always telling the doctor, I do Simponi infusions. You can't stop living but you have to be careful of possible dangers. Get your flu shot. Wishing you the best.

I am on simponi aria infusions. I haven’t experienced any infections. Get a flu shot. To Ramon when simponi starts to show signs of not working ( happened to me after a few yrs on simponi) my rhuematologist added arava. I feel so good again.

Gina, I've been on monthly Simponi injections (DYI) and it continues to work for me. My previous rheumy started me on Humira. With no reduction of the RA pain after 2-3 weeks he switched me to Simponi and I noticed the difference immediately. I hate to think about what to do when this medication no longer works. BTW, I have not suffered any infections while on Simponi. Just got my flu shot about two weeks ago. In mid-July I phased out Prednisone, per my new rheumy's recommendation and noticed worsening lower leg inflammation and arm pain between my right wrist and elbow. My internal medicine specialist prescribed a diuretic about ten days ago and it has helped with the leg inflammation. I will bring up my arm pain with my rheumy next month. Hope this helps.

Just started to take Simponi and I am wondering if it causes hair loss. Still on methotrexate and my hair has really thinned. Can't afford to lose anymore. Thank you for your insight.🤗

I have not had any infections. I am on simponi 3 yrs now
