Hi all I have been on Cimzia now for 18 months. Its brilliant except for some sinusitis I have had no side effects. The great thing is it is strong enough to be used on its own unlike other biologicals which I had to supplement with Mtx. The injections are easy and the syringes are especially designed for handling. So good look all. Here is hoping it has the same effect.

I take the cimzia every 2 weeks. Everything else had failed or I had bad reactions. It really has been a lifeline. If I can help with any questions please ask x

Hi

I took cimzia upto about 6wks ago. Initially the first 3 loading doses was brilliant as it made me feel normal and I was able to do lots of things that I could not do previously. Even on the single dose I still felt good. The positives are the ergonomic handles very easy to do the injection. No injection site reaction. Unfortunately the drug only worked well for me for 3/4 months and after christmas it was beginning to fail. I was sorry to come of it as i had go into a routine, but in the end it stopped working for me as i was beginning to flare once again. I'm now on enbrel and have been taking it for a month now.

I wish you luck on it and I hope it works. You will feel brilliant on it!

Take care Joanne x
