I took this medication to stop or slow a recent flare-up that did not respond to IV steriods. So far that has been no more progression, but current symptoms have not been relieved. But doctor says we need to wait up to 3 months to determine if the medication was effective.

My experience with this injection has been a tremendous blessing. The pharmaceutical company QuestCorp has been very helpful. After starting the shots two months ago after many failed treatments, Acthar is working!!

I've been on so many of the traditional RA drugs old and new cheap and expensive. With Acthar I've gone from being bed ridden to able to go back to my office job and contribute to some light duty house chores. But getting the insurance companies to cover it is hell. I had to contact my US Senate Rep and I am now still appealing with insurance company. Because my life and ability doesn't mean nothing to them.
