Starting Simponi in September

I saw my Rheumatologist last week, and we agreed that I would try the new biologic therapy, Simponi. Although Humira has proven effective at reducing my inflammation, stiffness, and fatigue, the pain of injecting the medication is too much to bear--the medication stings like battery acid as I inject it under my skin. Getting lemon juice in the eye could be comparable. I just injected my second-to-last dose of Humira. One more painful dose to go.
