Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I am 39 years old and have been diagnosed with juvenile RA at the age of 15. Now my diagnose is seropositive RA. I have been on all existing meds but my problem is that they work for some time and then stop working completely. I had to wait for years to be put on biological therapy. Now, I have been taking Actemra for 1,5 year and it worked I would say between 4th and 9th month. The last six months I see that it&#039;s no more effective for me. I am again in a lots of pain and I can&#039;t function normally. I said it to my rheumatologist and she gave me Arcoxia as a NSAID to be taken and maybe cease the pain. It&#039;s not helping at all, so she said that we do a switch to another drug. Hope it would work better for me this time."
