    I've got both R/a and Oa, I was on benepali for 18 months, now I'm on tocilizumab, which I been taking for 6 weeks,at first was taking benapali with methatraxate, but was having reaction to it.

    Occasionally I feel extra tired a day after doing my meth injection and that happens when it's a humira week too so yes, in a sense I do feel worse than usual but it passes. I have PsA and OA. DD

    Have you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben

    Hi @gazrobbo

    Welcome from me too, thanks for clarifying what meds you were on, here's the infor we have on our website on yours

    https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/treatments/drugs/tocilizumab/

    What a shame that you have had to start another treatment, I hope this one works well for you.

    I notice you have been travelling along with one or more arthritises for over 18 months now, it would be great if you could visit our Living with Arthritis category https://community.versusarthritis.org/categories/living-with-arthritis-forum

    to add your advice, support and encouragement.

    Take care

    Yvonne x
