I take it and the only reaction I have is a bit of redness at injection sight. I have been on the shot for about 2 1/2 months no issues.

Thank you! I was on HUMIRA previously and it worked great for about two years then just stopped working. I’ve just done the starter dose with Talz but I’ve seen no improvement. My rheumatologist told me it could take up to three months to fully take affect so I’m praying it will help..
