Amgevita
Hi all, I’ve been on the Biologic Amgevita for 15 months now and have had great results until just over a week ago.
Honestly, it’s like I ran into a wall.
I’ve been in bed or on the sofa with fatigue.
I’m swollen and stiff and in a lot of pain.
I feel like I’ve got Covid without the cough. I’ve taken tests and negative.
I have psoriasis popping up in random places too.
My hair is falling out like it did with Methotrexate and pain killers are just upsetting my stomach.
I have gastro resistant tablets to help but I just feel so bad.
Has anyone else had such a relapse on Biologics?
And has anyone got any advice for pain relief?
Thanks
Hi @Amgevita I wish I could welcome you to the community under better circumstances. Unfortunately, biologics tend to work for a while but for whatever reason they start failing. Sounds like that is what you are experiencing. If you have not done so please contact your doctor asap. It could just be a flare also but that is something your doctor will be able to determine. Hope this helps. Sending gentle hugs your way. Vickie W., Team Member
@Eric_the_Eric thank you, I was wondering if it would pass when I have my next injection, only another 4 days 😬
Contacting the rheumatology team has been a nightmare since moving back to Cumbria 3 years ago.
The team at Halton, Cheshire where amazing.
