For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I started Simponi in November last year. I started noticing a rash on my face, but I never related it to the use of the med. Two weeks ago, my dermatologist told me I have this weird reaction called mucinosis, which, when not treated properly, can lead to lymphoma. I was feeling awesome with Simponi so far, because the pain of my RA was gone, but now I just don't want to use it anymore."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "This is terrible stuff. Made my RA worse. Caused side effects of extreme fatigue, muscle pains, psoriasis on my scalp and dermatitis, and my hair has been falling out. Also causing my lymph nodes to swell. It has been 3 months, so I am trying something else and will discontinue. Wish I never tried."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I've had 2 Simponi infusions. Recently, I started breaking out with hives, especially on my legs and feet. Sometimes on my arms and the backs of my hands. It itches terribly but clears up within 30 minutes to an hour. But it's been happening every day for about 2 weeks now. Is this a common side effect of this drug?"

For Psoriatic Arthritis "I tried the injection once before after coming off of another biologic that made my symptoms worse. I did not really give it a chance as I did not seem to get any better. I was frustrated with my symptoms and took myself off of everything for 3 months. I had terrible joint pain, could not open anything up, and severe rash flare-up, so I tried it again with better results. So far, I will be on my second consecutive dose shortly. The only thing I have found odd and maybe unrelated is heart flutters and an upset stomach."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "Works great and I can definitely tell when it’s about time for a dose as I nearly much start to hurt. I’m currently experiencing hives how soon after infusion does a reaction usually occur?"
