I am on methotrexate, hydroclorequine, leflunomide, and Simponi infusions. I pray my ankles get relief soon ❤️
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.
I've recently started Simpani Aria infusions and after a few days developed a nasty headache that has been on and off for about a week and a half now. I don't normally get headaches, so I was wondering if anyone else had this happen while on the infusions? Im hoping it's from something else as I feel the infusions are working but it wouldn't be worth it with the nasty headache all the time. Anyone else have a similar situation?
My RA is not controlled enough, so my rheumatologist wants me on this drug. It is a onthly infusion. I have doubts, so would appreciate anyone's experience. Thanks, Arida
I’ve had ups and downs. I’ve learned to work through because I have no other choice but to keep going. I think being around people who push me and know when enough is enough are my biggest assets… read more
I have been on Humira for a few years but doesn't seem to be working as well as it did. My doc wants me to take Samponi.....I just hate changing my meds. So afraid of side effects, etc. If anyone is on this drug, I would appreciate any info you can give me such as effectiveness, side effects, etc. Thanks, Donna.
Helped my R/A after trying 3 other meds which produced too many side effects. I Now have a rash over much of my body/seeing dermatologist to determine what is going on. Stopped simponi aria for the time being but miss how it made me feel. Can anyone relate to this?
Thanks. Prednisone is clearing up rash but being on that is a whole other issue. Challenging times!
Had my first infusion of simponi aria last Friday. My gum is getting irritated and inflamed a couple of days ago despite my thorough dental hygiene practice ( flossing & mouth wash after each meal besides 2x brushing/d). Is it normal rxn for people taking biologics ( w/ suppressed immunity)? Should I contact my rheumatologist or dentist? Need some antibiotics? Thanks
I’ve been on Methotrexate for 5 yrs and Simponi for about 2 yrs. Little by little I’ve lost so much hair something has got to change
Thinking about asking about Xeljanz but since it’s a pill & not an infusion wonder how Ins will handle the cost
Good morning everyone , can anyone tell me there experience on these 2 meds Samponi Aria and Enbrel
My wife has been taken off of Methotrexate and her Dr has suggested these drugs! Thanks and have a blessed day
I was diagnosed in October of 2015. I started out on Enbrel and Methotrexate 8 pills a week. After about 4-6 months my doctor took me off of the Methotrexate, not completely sure why, but I was glad… read more
