I have suffered with RA for 27 years. I am currently 51. I have never had a day off from pain or experienced remission. The day Enbrel was FDA approved, I started the shots. Since then, I have tried (and failed) every single biologic from Remicaide to Xeljanz. I have had both wrists fused, one hand completely reconstructed, corneal melts, pleural effusion in both lungs, heart surgery to remove 2 l...

I just started taking this medication last week. I have been receiving infusions(Actemera) for over 2 years now. I was doing ok on the infusions but my Dr. felt I have plateaued on the infusion treatment and wanted me to improve more. I am hoping this will improve my present condition to a higher level of functioning. Time will tell

After prednisone, methotrexate, 3 types of biologics, and more over 3 year's, I progressively got worse. Aggravated, I stopped taking everything but prednisone. I would rather suffer than die from the treatment. The doctor said to give him one more chance and take the samples and see what happens. 2 weeks later, my body was feeling better. And from there on I have been able to recover. I’m getting stronger and better every week. I hope that it never stops. Rinvoq has saved my life and has given me a new lease on life at 60!Read More Read Less

45 mg for about 10 weeks. -ulcerative colitis. 33 y/o female. Suffering HORRIBLE acne. Hair loss on head, facial hair growth. Mood swings. Haven’t had a period in three months. Constipation, which is so crazy to me. I won’t poop for two or three days in a row. Extreme fatigue, a little depression and increased anxiety. It feels like it has effected my hormones. And no one can tell me why..? I’m getting off of it as soon as I can. My face is scarring, and I’m not myself. I was not expecting so many issues on the side from it. Read More Read Less

Ugh!!! I wish I could tolerate the headaches (I suffer from migraines and this made them worse) and the fever and fatigue because the dermatitis has cleared up.

I was taking this medication for my ulcerative colitis during phase 3 of the clinical trial (double blinded). After several months, my symptoms did not improve and as such, I was put on the “open” label which allows me to receive this medication for certain. I received 30 mg. Soon after receiving this, I suffered a stroke. There were no other underlying health concerns that could explain the stroke. Proceed with caution and ask many questions, as always.

Although it helped with my joint pain from PsA without psoriasis, I retained fluid, BP increased, cholesterol increased, facial acne, and the worst was the constipation and my bowels shut down completely.

I have both eczema and RA for many years. I was taking Humira and was battling my eczema daily. I switched to rinvoq to see if I can help relieve both. I was plateauing with humira already so switching was hopeful. What happened is my skin cleared up completely within the first week! My RA symptoms however took much longer to get to where I was with humira. I noticed rinvoq has a daily shelf life for RA. By the end of the day I have to take 2 ibuprofen to relieve night time swelling.

Sick after more than 2 years of use. Started at 68 years of age. Used every other day for improved functionality after super fast improvement within a few months. Several risk factors including age makes this a dicey choice.

Started Rinvoq late 2002 and really liked the releif it gave me for my RA. three months later my red cell blood count started going down and white cell going up By May 2023 my red cell count was at 6.7 and I was admitted into the hospital. Received a unit of blood and blood was found in my stool. Had a upper and lower GI which showed nothing but small intestines. Was not done. Went off Rinvoq late May and Red cell count is up now at 11.7 and white blood cells are is back in a good range. Need still to have my stool rechecked and mybe swallow a camera to check the rest of my intestinal trac.Read More Read Less

Rinvoq caused me to have several infections including TB. I do not think it is safe. This is my 5th biologic med. They all caused weird infections. They are poisons in my opinion.

This is a miracle medicine for me. I am 62 and have lived a very poor quality life with severe pain and itch from full body debilitating atopic dermatitis. I have been on buckets of topical/oral/injected steroids. I have had years of cyclosporine, cellcept, imuran and Dupixent injections with only modest to poor success. The physical and psychological effects of this are almost intolerable. My dermatologist prescribed me rinvoq 15 soon after it was approved in Canada… and I could get some financial help. Within a week my skin cleared 75%!!!!!the pain and itch greatly subsided I have not felt this well for 50 years…. This medication has given me hope. I will gladly put up with the acne… no other side effects except for wellness and elation ?? Thank you I Read More Read Less

Been on 15mg Rinvoq for 4 months now.Miraculously cleared all my symptoms of eczema which Dupixent hasn’t .never felt as good in my Entire life. I have never been on a medication so efficient .Only caveat is that eczema will come back as fast as it disappears if I stop using the treatment for 2 days. My biggest concern is the side effects I read and hear of . Cancer ,strokes??? I’m still trying to weigh the benefit /risk ratio to know if it s worth it. Are the probabilities of developing any of the major side effects high ? If not, I would stay on it permanently as it has changed my life for the better.Read More Read Less

Anger problems (worst I've experienced among many many other drugs), upper-tract infection (asthma-like symptoms due to mucus), infections all over the body (folliculitis? staphylococcus? Different itchiness sensation than eczema but STILL VERY ITCHY), diarrhea, lots of headaches and tiredness, mild hallucinations at times (waving walls, similar to effects of psilocin/psilocybin and LSD) (= increase in serotonin??).

Ankylosing spondylitis. It seems to help my rigidity and my fatigue. It also reduces the pain. The problem is that I'm full of herpes and that's just ruining it all for me. Now the pain is returning and the fatigue too. Biologics is like being permemently on a rollercoaster!
