I wonder if anyone knows of any CCG's in the UK that will prescribe Canakinumab for Stills?

Other meds are available
I was diagnosed with Stills over 50 years ago. I / they call it RA now but I certainly had the rash and fever back in the day.
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Thanks for your reply, it's really appreciated.
I know this illness is slightly different in every person that has it, and unfortunately Canakinumab seems to be the only one that works.0 -

It's a bit difficult to try to help as you don't give much info. Things I'm wondering are:
Has your own rheumatologist stopped prescribing it? If so, what reason (s) were you given?
Or, have you been prescribed it while living abroad and now find yourself unable to access it here?
Which other DMARDS have you tried?
What is your definition of a med 'working'? Are you going by blood results or pain?
Sorry for all the questions and, obviously, you don't have to answer but it does just make the picture clearer.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
