Hi
I am on Tocilizumab too, have been since September. It has been the best one for me, it worked pretty quickly.
Wish the fatigue side would go away, but hey, you can't have everything.
Glad it is doing good for you.

That's really good news Dazz.
I have failed to improve with Humira and Rituximab
and so Tocilizumab is the next step for me subject to my next blood results.
After 14 yrs of RA, 4 types of disease modifying drugs, two types of Anti-TNF's, oral steroids and steroid injections I am crossing my fingers as you can imagine.
Let us know how it goes won't you.
