Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I&#039;m 27, and have had RA for 6 years. I&#039;ve been on a few medications (Plaquenil, celebrex, methotrexate) to find the best fit for me. I have been taking Simponi injections once a month (as well as 20mg MTX weekly) for 7 months now and I&#039;ve had great success! Very slight pain in my foot by the end of the month, but nothing like what I&#039;ve been through before. I exercise regularly and don&#039;t have any kind of pain, so happy. The only side effect I&#039;ve noticed is fatigue, which can be challenging to manage at times, but I also really like naps, so if that&#039;s all I have to manage I&#039;m OK with that! My doctor says he&#039;s hoping he can start lowering/removing my dose of MTX soon too!"
