I've been using this medication since the beginning of my illness, in July 2004. I tried subcutaneous (injection) b/c it's been shown to absorb up to 80%, as opposed to around 20% with tablets, but the injections made me violently sick. So I'm back to tablets and the nasty side effects cleared up.

works well with hunira but makes me sick all 3-4 days a week. Heavy side effects with either just injections or as pill supplement with other drugs.

I am self injecting once a week and home and have had no side effects. Though I do get nauseous on occasion. My doctor said I shouldn't since this formulation bypasses my stomach but I still do.
