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. I think it has suppressed my immune system so much, I keep getting sick. I will go to receiving a depomedrol injection every 4 months. That seems to work for me without severe side effects.

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

Since going on Simponi 3 months ago I have a constant sore throat and low grade headache. My joints are still throbbing and swollen, and I feel it's not helping. I will ask to return to the Remicaide next week.
