I was on Remecade for 4 years and due to severe inflammation in my hands and feet was switched to Humera which stopped the inflammation. I was on Humera for 1 1/2 years but taken off 5 months ago due to problems thought to be due to Humera but wasn't. Since then my insurance has changed and they will not approve anything except Simponi. I am allergic also to Enbrel. Has anyone been on Simponi? Has it help your AS symptoms? Any negative reactions? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone. It's been a while since I posted but I have been popping by to check in. I am now looking at the possibility of a switch to Simponi or Enbrel over my current Humira 40mg injections biweekly, with continuing 20mg of MTX. Has anyone gone from Humira to the others and had an improvement? I can tell no difference in my pain levels when I am on or off the Humira.

Has anyone started Simponi (or any TNF for that matter) and felt that it was helping only to have it suddenly stop helping? I started taking Simponi in October and really felt like it was making a difference up until this week. Now I am suddenly feeling worse than I did before starting.

Ok so has any one had problems with their ears, jaw, and rash=scaling/blisters on palms of hands, lower leg, bottom of feet, behind ear, tip of finger? If so could you tell me about what is going on? My GP seems to think its a reaction to simponi, my rhumy said it could be serious, its been almost a year of onset and have been off simponi for 2mo now, and no changes. Been tested for Syphilis and its not that, freaked me out when I saw it on the blood draw order. All other test came out normal.

Just saw my RA today after a 6month span. My A.S. Did not behave during this time frame and he noticed. My hands and feet were the most affected. I'm now going to be changed from my Weekly dose of Humira (most ppl are prescribed it every two weeks) to Simpony? Something like that. Its a once a month self inj. I still have the weekly inj methotrexate till it shows how i'm doing. He said if i improve i may be able to scale back on the meth med. (heh i call it meth)

My doc wants to change me from Humira to Simponi or Enbrel. I've tried Remicade & Humira now. Can anyone share their experiences w/ Simponi &/or Enbrel? I'm not sure which my insurance will approve yet but am curious about my 2 new options.
