Rheumatoid Arthritis
"After my wife was taking Simponi for about a year under the direction of  her arthritis doctor, she came down with a rare neurological condition called CIDP (chronic inflamatory dimylating polyneurothapy) where she became almost totally paralized .   I think that the drug Simponi is very dangerous to take and she still can&#039;t walk after 2 years after stopping the drug.  She has to take infusions of IVIG  gamma globulin every third week to rebuild her nerves after the erosion of the myelin of the nerves took place.  This is a very serious side effect that no one has addressed.  I am sure that others have had this side effect hit them from taking Simponi.  We have spent over $200,000 in medical expenses toward my wife&#039;s recovery and will take at lease 1 to 2 more years for her to recover."
