Comment:
I have tried numerous treatments for my RA. Simponi was my latest. I seemed to feel good in the beginning. Now I had pneumonia, UTI, swollen ankles, UTI again.

Had two infusions in 5 weeks, worse than ever. Been through all the big drugs during my first two years of diagnosis, running out of options.

I have only had one infusion but already can tell a difference in my joints. Feel more energetic and stiffness is minimal. Working great for me so far. No side effects. Hope it continues
