rheumatoid arthritis
"I started Simponi  Approx 1 year ago.  I was first on methotrexate for about a year but developed a really bad cough and scarring on lungs.  I then was put on Remicade which took away every pain I had but on third infusion, I had an allergic reaction so I had to be taken off.  Now I am on Simponi and by the third infusion, I have had no pain at all and no side effects.  I am on Medicare which pays for 80% and my UHC which pays the 20%...so I feel really lucky."
