Struggling with RA treatment, looking for support

Hi! I’ve had RA since 2017 and was on humira for most of that time successfully. In 2020 it stopped working and now I’ve failed cimzia as well so we are trying Xeljanz…. Been on prednisone for almost 8 months now and it’s been really tough. Any and all thoughts and feelings welcome.

Hi! I’m on inflectra every six weeks, which has been amazing ! I previously failed humira, mtx and high dose prednisone. Make sure your doctor monitors you closely if staying on pred long term. It caused me cataracts and decreased bone density !

Oh wow! I get Remicade infusions every 6 weeks and have to take methotrexate every week. It has done really well for me. I previously tried Enbrel (sp?) which is a shot form of medication but unfortunately for me I was allergic. From what I hear though that helps a lot of people!

I tried injections, infusions, Xeljanz and methotrexate... The only thing that's worked long term for me is my current med which is Rinvoq
