For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I started taking infusion about 20 months ago. First year, things appeared to go smoothly. Then I started experiencing weakness in my right shoulder. A physical therapist diagnosed muscle deterioration, and I spent 3 months in therapy. Regained some of the strength, then slipped and fell, breaking my ankle bone on both sides, requiring surgery, pins, and a plate in my ankle. I never had a broken bone before! It went downhill from there. I have had 2 infusions since and have had weakness in my other shoulder, a urinary infection, horrible headaches, knees giving out, and painful, sore wrists. I tire easily, have weight gain, and experience blurry vision at times. I think it’s time to re-evaluate the benefits of this drug, as I have gone downhill quickly the past year."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I have had 3 infusions, and I am tired all the time and just want to sleep. My vision has also been more blurry. I understand the immune system can be lower on Simponi. I now have shingles on my face, and I had the shingles vaccine two years ago. I have had RA for 33 years, and Plaquenil has helped me more than anything as far as stiffness and pain. I have been taking it for at least 20 years. I also take Celebrex and methotrexate."
