Hi I've had 2 infusions and I take methotrexate. My questions is if you've taken this medication how long did it take before you started feeling better?

Hang in there, friend! I've found that every medication start or deletion takes at least six stinkin weeks to effect a change. So mark your calendar and wait. (Hey! I graduated hs in 73!)

I'm getting my 3rd one tomorrow, praying for relief! The 1st one worked for about 12days and then gone the 2nd no help. It's been a rough couple months for sure. My rhuemy doubled my dose for this time. Crossing my fingers!

I'm into month 4 and still not working for me. With Embrel it worked on the first injection (8yrs ago until it stopped working) all meds and people are different. Good luck!

Hang in there my friend. It sometimes takes up to 3 months to help your RA symptoms. I also Take Actemra it only took untill my 3rd injection to start working.
For some it's longer and others it helps sooner. Everyone is different. Hope you find relief soon.
Blessings to you and yours

Thanks sigh. I think we are much to young for this kind of pain. I guess unfortunately it doesn't work like that.
