So, again, I was told to get off it because I am showing signs of being allergic. I am supposed to start Simponi next week and wanted to know if anyone else is on it and their experience. I've not heard anything about it so I'm just curious.

It's a pretty new drug, so I haven't seen a lot of information on it from the point of view people living with RA. I have seen a number of questions asking about it, so it looks as if more doctors are prescribing it. Try asking your question again in the SharePost - they sometimes get more traffic than the Q&A section.

I am on Simponi now and am having good results.  The shot is so much less painful than Humira.
