Re: Kineret or Tocilizumab

[Guest guest]

Hi

Thanks for the info. I really want to go on Actemra, but my doctors office

won't do it until it is FDA. I had the same initial feelings in regards to

FDA approval, but I'm so desperate for something to work now, that I just

want to get on it. Oh well, right now, for me patience is a virtue and I

wait for the FDA approval, but I've done some research on the drug recently

and can tell you it has gone though more clinical trials than others in it's

class. I'm not sure why, maybe because it's an IL-6 blocker and it's the

first to come out, but I know my doctor has really high hopes for it for me

and I do too. So I wouldn't worry too much about the side effects right

now.

I'm glad it's working for you and I can't wait to get on it. Kineret is

what I'm on right now and it stopped working for me a while ago, but we

don't know if it is still helping some, so I am staying on it until I get

the new drug.

Hello

It is good to see you post and give hope to those waiting for Actemra. I'm

glad you are doing better but wish it were already a remission for you.

Thank you for posing though. We miss you.

Many blessings for happier days,

I've been on it for 3 months now. It is a monthly infusion which takes about

3 hours. As everyone has said we all have differant reactions to meds so

what works for one person may not for someone else. I hope everyone is able

to keep the dragon at bay. I haven't posted much lately just overwhelmed

with other things & can't seem to keep up with my e-mail but you are all in

my thoughts & prayers.

Take Care,

Chris

Hi Vivi,

I was on a medication called D-Penacillamine also called Cupramine. It put

my stills in to remission years ago and worked wonders for me. It was a pill

and not a biologic so I do believe you can take it having had TB. Check with

your doctor.
