which BIO med do YOU use for RA?

I'm currently on MTX (and humira but just stop that in April) and my arthritis is back full blown... gone crippled basically
I've done most of the RA meds like a few types of steriods, mtx, humira and remicade and imuran. I don't know if it makes any difference but I don't have RA I have enteropathic arthritis (known as Crohn's arthritis)  

My doc was saying to switch me to a bio med that doesn't invlove CD (so no humira or remicade) He mention Kineret... do you do this? I am worried as I travel quite a lot that it's not a real good med for that. I'm not convince in injecting myself daily. how rough has it been? I also read you do this with mtx? do you? I'm lookiing for something I can do without the combination of MTX

I saw another one that interest me more but was wondering has anyone been on it.... Orencia.... I like it's infusion and only every 15-24 weeks (did i read wrong?) can someone tell me more about this?

Is there another BIO med you use I may not have mention and you swear by it?

Has anyone heard or try Tocilizumab (Actemra) ? this is much newer

Any help would be a god send I'm 27 and living like an 80 year old.. I just want my life back!!!

Thanks!!

I used sulfazine to treat my enteritis arthritis and it works very well.

That'd be the one I'm highly allergic too. I was just constantly vomiting so very ill. I even ended up in the E.R. that's why the doctor said a bio med as suppose to any steriods.

I'm sorry I must have misunderstood the doctor when she RX me it at the time. Yes it's to bad!! I'm surprise not allergic to ANY med before that.

May I ask how long you were on it before you saw any difference in your arthritis... I tried it for 2 months before I was told to stop it and never saw any difference in my RA ... maybe I wasn't on it long enough?! Or I was just vomiting up the med so it never absorbed I guess! =/

Thank you so much for your reply!!!!
