At last after trying for years to be treated with anti tnf even though passing the criteria, 2 yrs ago ,I have finally done it. We had to change health authorities to see the rheumy who diagnosed me 7yrs ago. this was in jan, He is a super dr. an I can do , chap. & said that he would put me on cimzia ,after doing my das. test., which I passed again.
Any way , the health care at home nurse came, this Tues. &showed me how to inject, 2doses. I had been so anxious the weeks before, worrying about an adverse reactoin but it was fine,Felt better than I do after aMTX injection.Like you jenny the next day I was in less pain & my joints unstiffened Quicker, I was able to get up from sitting in a stronger way ,with less pain. Just feeling less exhausted with a bit of extra joy in life, some hope at last. What with the good news from nice as well. its a happy day,A change from a moaning me!!I hope you all have a great day . regards to all rose xx

Hi Rose, I'm Lorna I joined the site in March, I've had RA for almost 3 years now. I was on the triple therapy but since been taken off Sulph I no longer need it, still on MTX and Hydrox and Folic Acid I keep well now thank goodness. I've been married for 28 years to Ken and have 3 daughters. Are you new too or have you been on before seems like you may have, anyway nice to hear from you hope the meds continue to work. Lorna x

So pleased, over joyed and delighted it went so well.
I have to say the same is with me- almost instant improvement of RA- much perkier in myself. Less swelling and bloods MUCH better.
(still a way to go though)
I know exactly what you mean about getting up though- I dont really know why it is easier but it DEFINITELY is!
A few mins after having the jab I get a sore throat and then it goes about a day or so later. Thus far the only side effect! I can deal with that one!
So pleased the new dr is working out. I have a good consultant, his juniors are a bit hopeless though. His registrar is very nice.
