Enbrel failed after 9 years. Rituxan has not helped after 2 months. Has anyone tried Actemra?

I haven't used Acterma and there are no reviews on this website so can't really comment.

Your rheumatologist is the best person to talk to or contact the Arthritis Foundation, they may be able to help you with more information.

I'm due to start Actemra next week. Failed Humira and Simponi. If you like, I can post afterwards and let you know what happens.

I just had my 6th treatment and talk about a "new lease on life"! Like you I had been on everything out there with no success. I didn't start to feel better til after my 3rd treatment. I do find that about one week prior to my next treatment I am extremely tired. I don't need to look at the calendar to know my next treatment is due! I'm sure by now you've started this and would be curious to hear how you are doing. Just sit back and close your eyes for approximately one hour.
