I hope Actemra works for you, it did for me. I was on Enbrel for 13 years and forgot I even had RA. then it just quit for some reason. My rheumy tried Orencia with several combo drugs, and Cimzia as well, but nothing worked. I then tried Actemra(self injecting form) and it took about 4 months then it kicked in. I really suffered , a period of about 2 years till I found Actemra. You look so young, I hope it works for you, but keep trying if it does not!
kudos with the new drug. this is going to be the ONE
congratulations on enjoying the fruits of your labor: your degree and getting this position
and i hope the ups truck shows up soon with the goods :)

Not the best start! Little discouraging BUT going to try and keep my head up since it's only been about ummm10 hours! :)
