Am not sure it does much but I can't afford the other treatments (biologics) so I have stayed with this drug. My hair is really thinning out though - may consider not using it and just staying with my anti-inflammatory.

Take this with folic acid and humira, works best of what I have tried. Used to be on sulfaalzine, plaquenil and prednisone. Still have pain in hands, neck and knee, also dry itchy skin

I have been on this drug for 2 years. I also take Simponi. I have no flares. I am tired a lot and have to take a nap each day but very much worth it. Just found out my lungs are covered with nodulers. No systoms but showed up in CT scan for another problem. I haven't talked to my RA doctor yet. Will see him Monday and hopefully will find out if this drug has this side effect.
