I was on Humira first and then Cimzia for both my crohns and RA. Unfortunately both of these drugs caused me to have heart palpitations so I had to stop. I hope you have good luck with Cimzia for your UC. Currently I am on Stelara for crohns and it has really helped. It is often trial and error with medication until you find the right one for you

I have been on Stelara almost a year. No itching or other side effects I had been on pentasa for years and it only worked fair. I also take IBgard which is over the counter medicine. Doctor suggested I try it and that also has been helpful. It's frustrating trial and error with all the medications. Good luck!
