I fought tooth and nail to get this medication because I refused to go down the road of injectables again. I was on Humira and Enbrel. I developed a nasty rash from Humira and Enbrel did absolutely nothing for me. I’ve been on the Xeljanz XR for about 2 weeks now and have noticed some improvements. Anyone else have success with this medication?

I have taken Xeljanz for about 5 yrs and am in a conversation with my rheumatologist about whether it is time to change. Symptoms that I never had before have started over the last 6-8 mo. Lower back pain, fatigue, low energy.

I'd love to meet others who have AS without B27. My father and I both have the joint damage and were diagnosed about two years ago.

I have ankylosing spondylitis and had a kidney removed. My rheumatologist said there isn't any data with a patient with only one kidney. I told her I feel that it is probably because it's not something you should do with only one kidney, but she kind of just dismissed me and wants to prescribe cosentyx or xeljanz.
