If my insurance will cover it and I can afford it with the patient assitance program I will be starting this. I haven't tried this one yet.

Hope you have success with it. I should be starting it next week too. My first ever biologic. I'm really nervous about having to give myself an injection. Big baby I suppose.
Anyways hope it works for both of us.
