I think a couple on here are better at RA benefits. Dadcue is one. Another lady with similar RA and PMR. She has been through it all. I can send you this
"Humira has an average rating of 6.3 out of 10 from a total of 679 ratings on Drugs.com. 54% of reviewers reported a positive effect, while 32% reported a negative effect."
"Simponi has an average rating of 6.2 out of 10 from a total of 114 ratings on Drugs.com. 54% of reviewers reported a positive effect, while 30% reported a negative effect".

Michael Started Humira 2 weeks ago, just did my 2nd shot today. Amazingly I started feeling better after the 1st one. Was on 2-3 mg of prednisone after the 1st shot went to 1 mg today went to a half a mg and still feel pretty good . My Rheumatologist thinks I have RA and PMR because of my knees swelling, even though the marker for RA didn't show on my bloodwork. He told some people have it, but no markers for it. I tried Actemra didn't work, he suggested humira since it works on a different part of the immune system. Seem to be working or I went in spontaneous remission when I started it.
