Has Anybody Had Any Experience With Xeljanz?

Roanoke Rapids, NC

My Rheumatologist has had me on Xeljanz samples for a month and a half. I've also had a flare-up for weeks. Just wondering if anyone has tried it. Any outcomes?

I take Humira injections off & on since Oct 2015, when I was diagnosed. But only off when I get infections like sinus or UTI. So, when I had a really bad 2 weeks I thought was my fibro, but RA Doc said NO it's a bad flare up. Gave me steroid injection and a prescription for steroids (the package that tapers dosage down in a week). Steroids have always helped me prior to RA. If you can get injections & prescription I highly recommend, IF you are not getting relief from RA meds. I plan to ask for steroids as I feel pain, as often per Dr. will recommend.

I tried it for 4 months but I just wasn't convinced that it was getting the job done for me. I wish this disease had one-size-fits-all meds, but it is very personal. Hope it works for you because taking that pill is a WHOLE lot easier than these injections I'm doing now. Good luck!

I have been on Xeljanz for about 4 months. It has helped some. I hope it continues to get better. Good luck to you - I hope it works!!
