Simponi vs Humira

Anyone been on Simponi for AS? I've been on Humira for about a year and it has not done much for me. They doubt Simponi will provide much relief either, as my disease is about 30 years old. But they are hoping Simponi will do more for my peripheral issues, knees and shoulders. They said TNF blockers are supposed to halt the progression, but did not seem sure about that either.

The little bit I read seems to indicate that Simponi has more side effects than Humira. They were thinking about Cosentyx, but I already have digestive issues. The first few weeks that I took Humira my digestive issues settled down, but the effect did not last. This was the deciding factor for Simponi.
