Do you take vitamin D with calcium/that will help for your hair,teeth 😬 I lost my teeth eating a hot dog 🌭 I added the vitamin D with calcium and it stop even the hair from falling. I hope you found the best solution for you. Best of luck!

What were your symptoms when the simponi wasn't working anymore?
I have been taking simponi infusions for 2 yrs now.
Passes few months I am noticing extra fatigue...and had an incident where my wrist was stiff and swollen. I had not had that for a long time.
Its hard when a med quits working.
