My rheumatologist suggested I start Simponi Aria, an infusion. I have not yet seen this biologic mentioned here and wonder if anyone has tried it.
My Rheumatoligist has suggested that get in infusionssf Siponi Aria? I am going to get my booster next week then I have to wait 2 weeks before I start the infusions
I am on my second biologic. I have tried Humira and 6 most later my body attacked the meds. I am now on Cosetyx. It's been about 8 weeks and I still feel so fatigued. I was thinking depression and is it still this disease?

I have been on Celebrex for the past year and I am in pain everyday and so fatigued. If anyone knows more about the Simponi Aria I would love to know your thoughts.
I have been using Simponi for 7 years now it has worked great for me I am pretty much pain free I do have some bad days but they are few and far between thank God
Has anyone used Cimzia and Simponi Aria as a combo? I use methotrexate and it's not working.
My rheumatologist has switched me from Humira to Cosentyx but my first injection is not for 2 more days. I have a lot of pain in tendons, ligaments, enthesis, bursa, etc., and am wondering if others have seen much improvement if they, too, have switched? Ty
I'm being treated by the VA after dealing with AS for years while in the Navy, and in civilian life. The VA has me on Emberl. Not so much pain now after years of agony, as my spine has fused it self… read more
