Anakinra "Realized/appreciated the effects after 2 months of daily injections. Very effective at reducing, if not eliminating, full body inflammation without steroids. Kineret’s on-track program made my prescription possible."

"I have been taking this medication for 9 years now, and it takes care of my symptoms pretty well. I have occasional stiffness, but it usually occurs after I wake up in the mornings. I know quite a bit about rheumatoid arthritis because I have had this disease for 22 years now. I've also taken this medication during pregnancy, and honestly, I have 2 of the healthiest kids you will ever see. I took this in 2008 with my first pregnancy, and we both did very well, I have no complaints. I took this medication again in 2009 with my second pregnancy, and again, no problems at all. I hope this helps someone."

Anakinra "Kineret gave me my life back. Within days, I was feeling back to my old self and free of pain. I'd tried everything under the sun including Methotrexate (pills and injections), Prednisone, Plaquenil, Sulfasalazine, Meloxicam, Enbrel, and then Humira. When I didn't respond to the biologics, my Rheumatologist told me there was nothing I could do besides a double wrist synovectomy. I fired him and got on a waitlist to see a new doctor. It took 8 months to get that appointment, but it was well worth it since one visit was all it took to get the prescription I needed. 11/10"
