Hi all,
I have just taken my 2nd injection of golimumbab - Simponi
Visited Rhumy last Monday. General well we'll see how we go on on this biologic etc see you again in 6 months.
Received a letter from him today wanting to add methotrxtrate into the mix. To help my body to stop resisting the biologic. As a sort of combination therapy!
Anyone else do any similar ?
Never had methotrexate before
Thanks in advance. X

In my hospital it's standard practice to support a biologic with methotrexate, I take injected meth in addition to humira and have done for a number of years. DD0

Thank you DD - any side effects ? X0

For some years I took azathiroprine in gradually
decreasing tablet dosage in addition to injectinig
humira .
At my last interview with my consultant rheumatologist
she agreed that I need not take it any more so I now just
inject the humira on a fortnightly basis.
I have no side effects at all with or without the
azathiroprine, and confirm that humira
has been the bright spot in my ongoing spat with ra.
A bonus, in my particular situation, is that the humira also
blasts my other lnflamatory condition, crohns disease.0 -
No side effects at all apart from the occasional bout of extreme tiredness the day after the meth - I stress occasional. DD0

Hello Lynnmarie
I inject Methotrexate on a Monday and inject Enbrel which is a biologic on a Wednesday. I am only 7 weeks into Enbrel but so far all good and no side effects. I get side effects from sulpha and hydroxyechlorcin tablets and consultant has stopped these. Good luck. Everyone reacts differently but this forum is such a great help and could not get by without it as there is so much support and information.0
