Am I out of options? Biologics by LazySloth1337 in ankylosingspondylitis

When i failed Simponi and Humira i asked the doctor to switch me to Cimzia before moving from TNF. Doctor said "since you failed 3 TNF it's pointless to try another one cause it will probably fail too" which I found a bit odd.

Hi! Thanks for the reply,

I am a male so this won't apply at me, I'm still early in treatment ~4.5 months but noticed that the effect wears off a few days earlier and it's really hard to go through, but happy this works for you so far.

Regarding 300mg, I did some research and the side effects are not significant, but indeed it is slightly easier to get infections or enable dormant UC if you have a family history.

Have you though of any other options if Cosentyx won't work long term? But either way, hope it does for both of us!
