I am a 65 year old female and have been on Actemra by IV for 2years now. This drug has worked awesome for me. Can now lift my arms and walk longer with no pain. Beside mild side effects like sinus pain and mild skin itching Actemra has changed my quality of life for the better. Hope it last longer then the Humira and Simponi

Failed Enbrel and methotrexate, had Vectra test revealing high RA disease activity with Interleukin 6 as culprit. Started Actemra self injections. After 6th injection, I had improvement in joint pain, stiffness and fatigue. It continues to work. Only side effect has been an occasional mild headache. The Vectra test and Actemra have changed my life!
