Experiences with Rheumatism

In the beginning i had some trouble with diarrhea but that went away after 14 days. I dont have any more side effects, i respond to this better then Mtx, that stuff really made me feel bad. I have not had any infections in ages.

Rheuma is getting worse. If I take this med for three months with no effect, we are gonna switch medication. Now I also take Prednison.

It is difficult to say. i dont know how i would feel if i hadnt taken this. i have colitis ulcerosa, this sickness may have a negative effect, but MTX works as an inhibitor , i have no idea how they effect one another. According to my pharmacist the MTX can have an effect on the flu shot. The flu shot was delayed for a few days to be safe.

After worrying for years about Lyme I was finally diagnosed with RA and after trying lots of different medicines finally settled on Enbrel once a week, after 3 weeks the pain had noticeably lessened. After a few years I am now down to 1 injection every 4 weeks.

The composition changed in August 2016. I used to get an injection once every 3 weeks. Now it's once every 2 weeks and even that period is too long. My rheumatism is much more noticeable.

I use a maximum of 3 a day and every 3 months I quit tramadol for 1 month after my injection of depomedrol. I have no withdrawal symptoms. This I do because experience has learned it's more effective this way and there is no need to use more. No real side effects. When I take the first capsule nothing happens, it starts working by taking the second capsule, which I take after an hour. The pain ...

Humira works excellently for me. All my symptoms of rheumatism (ankylosing spondylosis) are repressed and I can function and exercise normally. I am free of complaints. I combine this treatment with 1 trip a week to the physio.I I am a 42-year-old man and I've already been taking this medicine for 6 years. Only Humira works for me. Absolutely no problems with any side effects whatsoever. Defini...

i've been taking this medicine now for 3 months with prednison because nothing else works. In my eyes, this medicine does nothing, but the doctor said I've got to keep with it because I can't keep switching medicines. The prednison helps but the Cimzia doesn't. Since I've been using this medicine suffered with nightly cramps in my feet and calves, really painful.

Tell your rheumatologist if "something" has happened with your heart. Mine did not know which meant I developed heart failure between 2007 and 2011 and had to have an ICD implanted.

Methotrexate has not helped me. I must have been taking it for a year and in that time, nothing has changed in terms of my rheumatoid arthritis. I have definitely suffered with side effects.

Been using this for 1.5 years now. Started on 25 mg. After 5 months reduced down to 10 mg and last week stopped altogether on the advice of my psychiatrist. I take it for pain and I've always slept well but the past 2 months I've been having hallucinations. Choice was to stop taking it or have a small dose of anti-psychotics alongside it. So I stopped. Nights aren't exactly great now because of...

in the evenings I get the enbrel pen from the fridge then the following morning I put the pen in my bra between my breasts and after about one hour I administer the pen, now totally pain-free with the syringes, but the men need to look elsewhere 😜.

This medicine is aggressive with loads of side-effects, some of which are even really serious. After 2 1/2 months I started thinking about stopping this medicine and at the next consultation with the rheumatologist compared the problems with the side effects and we started looking for an alternative. I also wanted to ask for a complete blood work up just to make sure that this drug doesn't cont...

Worked really well until 2014, when it stopped and the RA flared up again and I seemed to have developed Polyneuropathy on the soles of my feet.

I've got RA and alongside the Methotrexate injections I take sulfasalazine, Plaquenil and prednisolone. As well as that other medicines for my heart. Above all I am really tired and lethargic for the first 2 days following the injections. But it really works for me, in combination with the other medicines.

Very effective medicine. At a high dose I really suffered with tingling in my lower legs. After it was reduced no more problems with side effects.
