Q: Was on Enbrel five years, Orencia for one year and now Actemra with prednisone, plaquenil, celebrex, and oxycontin just feeling so overwhelmed any one else on actemra and how long for it to work?
I went through Enbrel, Remicade, Humira. Remicade seem to work before but now it doesn't. I was flared up end of '10 and started Actemra at the end of Dec '10. My sed rate and crp all went back to normal within a month. I have Adult Still Disease, a type of RA.
Hope it works for you.
here is my sed rate and crp.
