After diagnosis of adult onset Still's disease, I tried Placquenil, Methotrexate and Enbrel and had no relief. Another specialist insisted I tried Kineret, as he defined Still's disease as an IL-1 condition. Upon starting Kineret, I had relief from fevers and joint pain within 24 hours. I have taken it for several years and resumed normal life. If I am late with a dose or miss a day, I am ... Show Full Comment

After numerous failed treatments, I was put on Kineret since it is one of the safer drugs without cardiovascular disease risks. With a strong family history of cardiovascular disease I am unable to take several of the DMARD's that up the risk of heart disease.

After numerous failed treatments, I was put on Kineret since it is one of the safer drugs without cardiovascular disease risks. With a strong family history of cardiovascular disease I am unable to take several of the DMARD's that up the risk of heart disease. Kineret has not been as good for me as Enbrel, but Enbrel has heart disease risks, but it does help me to keep going. I still struggle a lot with fatigue, but the pain is more manageable then with the other drugs I've tried. Problem I have with Kineret and all of the immunosuppressant drugs is the ability to keep taking them on a continuous basis because I have very small children who tend to bring a lot of colds home from school. As with all the RA drugs, if you are around someone who is ill you really need to stop the medications to prevent becoming deadly sick. Kineret is effective at relieving the inflammation & pain when I'm able to take it on a continuous basis along with methotrexate & hydroxychloroquine.

I was diagnosed with Stills disease a year ago. I was prescribed Remicade every 4 weeks with no results. I was then taken off Remicade and started Kineret. It is a miracle drug for me. I have a little stiffness in my fingers and lower back which is much better than being in pain from head to toe 24/7.
