Is Anyone On Methotrexate And Simponic Aria?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Marana, AZ

Will be starting infusions soon with simponic aria and oral methotrexate and have mixed feelings. Some information is positive about taking this combination and yet there's alot of negative effects also. I haven't discussed this with my rheumatologist yet but just wondering if there are any people in this group that may help me from experience. Thank-you in advance.

Seems like this whole RA thing is trial and error 😕

I take Orencia however I have a cousin that lives back east that takes Simponi (one infusion per every 8 weeks) and 4 methotrexate tablets(once a week). She is 72 yrs young. Is able to work 4 full days per week at Walmart. She has done so well on this combination.. I saw her before Simponi and then after. My opinion is that she has done so well. I do believe that medicine is personal it may work well for you or may not be the best. I would study both meds. Cross match them with my R/A symptoms and then decide. Hope this helps.... I use wikipedia to study my meds and my symptoms.😊

I am on same treatment. Started infusion times almost three months ago. Been on metho for over 20 years. No major side effects, but my severe disease not responding to infusion. See Dr. in August. May have to switch infusions. Best of luck. Praying
