Kineret Anyone? | Arthritis Information

Just wondering if anyone has had success with Kineret. Since I've failed all the biologics and AP, my rheumatologist wants me to try Kineret as a last resort. I will get my last Orencia infusion tomorrow, then start on the Kineret injections in two weeks. I'm also on Methotrexate, Plaquenil, and Medrol, but my pain/inflammation and CRP/ESR continue to rise.Hi Gail, I'm sorry about the rising numbers.  What dose of MXT are you taking?  Can you continue MXT if using Kineret?  LindyHi Lindy! I'm on 25 mg injectable MTX, and yes, he wants me to continue it along with the Kineret. Is this contraindicated???I think you can take MTX with Kineret.  I didn't but I wouldn't see why not.  I took Kineret for some time when it was first introduced.  It didn't do much for me, but I hope it works well for you.   I'm kind of in your situation as well only I still have Orencia and Rituxan left to try as well as a higher dose of Remicade.  We're going to initiate 5mg/Kg dose next week

 
Good luck with Kineret
Gale, I don't know about interaction of MXT and Kineret.  I was thinking if you weren't on the highest dose that MXT could be increased but I see you're on the max.  Take care and keep us posted.  Lindyyes you can take kineret and mtx together.  they were made to go together.  good luck with your new treatment.   this one did not work for me but we are all different.  best wishes.  w.w.
