Biologics side affects

I have been on the biologic Rinvoq for seronegative rheumatoid arthritis and ended up in the ER from mucopurulent bronchitis. I was coughing so hard that I had a laryngospasm that left me unable to get air in or out for a frighting amount of time. After that I came down with all kinds of side effects from latent viruses and fungal infections that became reactivated. I was switched to Simponi Aria. I'm going through multiple side effects such as severe ones like gastritis, more pain and inflammation from DDD, joint pain, Modic Type 1 endplate degeneration and failed back surgery. I'm experiencing minor side effects like urinary urgency and incontinence, hair loss, severe headaches, weight loss, nausea, pain in eyes, severe stomach pain, diarrhea, anemia, sinusitis and bone and joint pain. I'm scheduled for another infusion in five days and I'm frightened that I will have gut ripping pain in my abdomen again where I will have to decide if I should take myself to the ER again which is a last resort.

Is this the only thing you can take, doesn’t sound one it’s good for you! What else have you tried ?

Ask your PC about pre-medicating.
Im on Rituxin and the nausea was horrific during the infusion despite IV Zofran.
I pre-medicated with Sublingual Indica before leaving home… no nausea, no dizziness, no pain!
I sat with a friend and drank coffee with a snack and chatted!
The fatigue was bad for two weeks post infusion but now my long covid POTS is resolving!!!
Pre-medicate and bring a friend
