Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi again--Thanks for replying( awhile back, eh?) I finally started the Simponi 12 days ago; and have had various unpleasant side effects since. It started with increased fatigue, and irritability---that I hated--everything annoyed me out of proportion to anything I've ever experienced before. That lasted about 2-3 days. Then the nausea and indigestion with continued extreme fatigue---also in there was the apperance of blisters 0n my butt!--very sore, itchy, and ugly. Those also lasted about 3 days. Now I still have continued fatigue and upset stomach. Meanwhile the joint pain continues with no change. I really don't know what to do--I don't want to give up too soon; but I can't imagine injecting this again in a few weeks. I am afraid the side effects could be even worse next time. Also--I can't seem to find an answer anywhere about when you should expect improvement in symptoms if there will be any. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
