Hello Alfiesmummy. I've never taken simponi / golimumab. I don't think we have many people on here who do. Maybe it works so well they don't need to come on here I've not heard anyone mention weight gain in relation to it. Steroids, yes, but not that.
I think we naturally put on weight as we get older. I've had to gradually ditch most sweet stuff over the years. If you're worried about it maybe your GP could help.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Hello alfiesmummy. I was on Simponi for 14 weeks. It didn't work for me. I put on a stone! Not good. Given steroid injection to tied me over before humira. Another 4lb gain. Now on a diet. I have ANkylosing spondylitis and osteoarthritis.0
