Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group Which anti-tnf works best?

Just curious to which anti-tnf you find works best. I'm on Humira at present, doesn't seem to be doing much. I know that's not everyone's experience. So just wondering your experiences.

I created a poll on my blog to keep track of your experiences. Look forward to reading the results.

I used Humira first and the change was nothing less than miraculous. But then after about 6 months I started to notice pains develop in the 2nd week of the two week cycle. I was still a lot better than without any TNF, but my rheumy wanted to change me to Simponi. I did this after about 1 year on Humira and so far Simponi is sensational. I'm happy that it lasts the entire 30 days of its cycle. I do get some night pains in my hips, but it doesn't wake me up until almost before the alarm anyway. So far it is great.

I have used enbrel,celebrex,sulfafazaline,humira,and am now trying Simponi.Simponi is thhe one which is giving me great relief.It has been 4 yrs since i first seen a rheumatologist,and finally i feel good.I am fused from head to toe,but a lot of the pain is gone.

TAke care
