Hello @dontknowitall53 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see that @gingerw has joined you and the pair have you shared some additional details.
There was another discussion already going on the topic of biologics so you will notice I have moved your post into that discussion, which you can find here:

Is your main concern adding to your list of side effects?

Here is an article from Medicine Net, about biological medications. I am curious what condition you are being treated for?
