"I started initially with IV tocilizumab a year ago for still's disease then changed to weekly injections at home Seemed to work well although my knees still needed to be drained regularly. After six months it appeared to stop working so switching to Anakinra soon which I hope will help more still taking steroids though hope to taper them as soon as I can ."

"I have Adult Onset Still's Disease and Actemra has been a miracle for me. I can't imagine my live without. I have not had side effects and this drug enable me to keep in great physical shape. Yes, I still have flares when I am close to my next infusion but I feel much better the next day and can continue living my life to the fullest and I do. Much better than packets of Prednisone and Motrin, I'm pleased!!!"
