    Yes!!!

    Its a miracle drug for me anyway
    Not on any other medication other than that. Was on over 63 tablets a week before it
    Now just one injection once a month and im flying.
    Don't care about long term side effects. I certainly don't have any short term ones anyway. But to me quality of life if definately more important to me that quantiity.

    I'm on simponi as well. It's great.

    Its easy to use, after a bit of practice, I have no side-affects, and it works.

    It comes in two forms, one is a syringe and one a pen-like system which is like the epi-pens for allergies or the system that diabetes inject themsleves with.
    I use the pen one, and its very easy to use. I was nervous about using it, but they send out as nurse to teach you how to use it and you get used to it quickly.
