KINERET  (ANAKINRA):  This medication is used alone or with other medications to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It helps to slow joint damage and reduces the joint pain/swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis so that you can move better. Anakinra is a man-made form of a natural protein (interleukin-1 receptor antagonist) made by the body. It helps to block the effects of another protein (interleukin-1) which can cause joint pain/swelling/stiffness. Anakinra is also used to treat a certain condition called Neonatal-Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease (NOMID). It helps to improve symptoms of the disease such as fever, rash, joint pain, vomiting, and headache.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Autoimmune disease Swollen tongue, face, eyes, lips. Bad neuropathy! I woke up and felt like someone took a sledgehammer to my knees, and then I couldn’t walk n move! I went to walking with a cane, to a walker n then wheelchair! Definitely made my condition worse. Exhaustion and aches and pain all over. Flu like Symptoms. Terrible cramps n spasms! Nasalpharygitis Headaches, nausea, sores in mouth, Please be careful with this drug. I’m glad it works for some but the doctors should watch us closely. I tried to tell my doc several times n called the company too until I finally landed in the hospital unable to breathe n move. It caused my body to swell terribly and made my CHF worse! I tried to stay on it and I was declining fast. I’m off it for 4 days, and I have my legs back n can walk, almost normally again! Thank God!!! My hands are slowly uncurling and the cramps n spasms are better! Headaches are gone but still getting the runny nose n swollen tongue. Still exhausted n feel weakness. F 50 30 days
