Has anyone used Cimzia and Simponi Aria as a combo? I use methotrexate and it's not working.
Hi everyone. The doctor has just prescribed this to me. It's my sister in laws wedding coming up and I'm trying to decide if I should wait the 3 weeks before starting it or not. What side effects have you had from it?
I have been doing methotrexate injections for about 22 years
I absolutely take folic acid every day. But absolutely DO NOT FORGET the day before and day after. Helps significantly with side effects..… read more
Is anyone else having a lot of pain in their feet (especially heels) hands? I take methotrexate and Inflectra injections (also have Crohn's disease). Nothing seams to be working right now. Have trouble to put weight on my feet when I first get up or after sitting for a while. Any suggestions???
I'm 73 yo female healthy all of my life until my legs started aching and back pain became regular. I was recently dx'ed with SA. I have just started Humira. Also take methotrexate and prefnisone. At the the same time have come to need hip replacement. Having these 2 together, it's hard to separate which pain is from which ailment. My muscles are constantly aching, especially my legs. Getting into bed is a nightmare. I'm walking with a cane or in a wheelchair. I feel devastated, crying a lot and… read more
My doc tried to get me in a drug trial but the mri didn’t show inflammation and hla b27 was negative so I don’t qualify. Now I’m stressed that this info will make him rethink my diagnosis.

My doctor believes I have nr-axSpA based on my history of 30+ years of back/neck pain, severe thoracic/pelvic pain when lying down, and doing just fine during the day. I also have a family history of Ankylosis spondylitis and I test positive for the gene.
However, what has driven me over the last 30 years to seek medical help, is constant muscle spasms in my neck and entire back. This has severely impacted my range of motion. Nerve conduction studies confirm that the muscles along my entire… read more
Thanks Cathy. I’ve been on tizanidine since July 2020. It has helped with ROM and sleep but the muscle spasms continue 24/7.
Thanks for the information about Methotrexate, I wasn’t aware of the… read more
I’m already on Remicade infusions for Crohn’s and Methotrexate injections plus Fossimax for RA.
Is Abrilada something I can take in addition for my Spondylitis?

Dr. put me on Lyrica for nerve pain. !00 mgs- 2x/day. No longer take ANY Gabapentin! Was taking up to 1200mgs on my worst days, 600mgs on my best. I also take Methotrexate, Enbrel & Wellbutrin, but… read more
