I have been on this medication (this one is a self injecting pen) since October. I really do think each medication has worked. Last summer/early fall was rough for me... lots of pain and extreme fatigue. But I have been doing much better since starting this new one. This has happened to me with each medication. Hopefully this one works for a longer period of time. I will take any relief I can get, for as long as I can get it. I haven't been on any prescription pain killers... just my biologic and OTC meds (like ibuprofen). I also take a few supplements... a morning probiotic (for gut health), a Vitamin D with lunch, and curcumin. I may start a few others soon, as I believe these really help keep my inflammation down. I also go to a physical therapist once a week. I believe she is helping me with mobility, posture and flexibility. Most days I seem to be able to function just fine. I do not work outside of the home, which helps me manage the bad days. I mostly just manage our home - cooking, cleaning, etc. We live in south Florida so we get a lot of friends and family visiting in the winter months. Sometimes I feel like I am running a bed and breakfast. But I also love having people around - it helps me stay positive and active. And, quite often our guests treat us to dinner out, which is really nice. When they leave, I rest for a day or two.

Good Morning Heather, that sound encouraging even if they help for a while. How long have you been on the new medication? I sure hope it helps. A patient that was receiving infusion when I was also said that happened to the then another said they didn't work at all. We just have to pray that our body finds the right meds. Thank you so much.

I was on Simponi Aria for almost two years. It really helped me. I did very well on it. The infusions were quick and simple. Last fall my pain and extreme fatigue came back, so my rheumatologist recommended switching to a different medication. Good luck to you!

Best of luck!! I hope everything works for you!! I go Monday for mine 🙃
