Re: Simponi

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the quick response . I've been out of pocket and unable to

reply.

I took my first Simponi shot yesterday and was quite surprised that there was no

site reaction like I had with Humira and Enbrel.

So far do you think you will be on Simponi a while--getting good results? Can

you tell when it is time to take the next month's shot? With Humira and Enbrel

I started feeling the need for my next dose within a few days of my scheduled

shot.

I really hope it works for a long while for me. If it doesn't I think the next

step will be Orencia.

simponi thus far. I'm off my methotrexate because I had major abdominal surgery

end of January and got a nasty UTI. Without the methotrexate, my simponi is not

working as well. The simponi was working well in tandem with the methotrexate,

at least as well as the orencia I was on without the side effects. Humira never

did work for me. Enbrel worked spectacularly for me until I seemed to get

'immune' to it. I was on Enbrel before the Humira, then when Humira failed went

to Orencia and now Simponi. Let me know if I can answer any further questions.
