I just joined the group. I am on my 3 injection of cimiza do any of you have red raised swelling that turns white a day after injection?

Mine is about 3 in long and high and its raised also i have small red rash looking bumps. Then it turns my skin white Just wondering if this is a normal reaction after the injection it does go away after 5 days Thanks again! I am really happy I found this site.

Hi there yes I do exactly what you've said ....I have just started maintenance doses (1 every 2 weeks ) but my loading doses and yesterday's jab do leave a while lumpy effect ...I mentioned this to my nurse and she told me to speak to the rhumi team when I go to hosp 18th Sep because for me when the while lump goes it does still leave a discoloured skin area of and I'm thinking after 6months there are going to be quite a few of them not nice on the beach ...I am almost happy to put up with it though as I'm doing good on Cimzia and excited it's giving me my life back , I hope it does the same for you xx

Can't answer your question but welcome to the site - there's lots of support and information on here:-}

And the NRAS website has every bit of down-loadable factual information that you could want, about RA and JIA.

Hello

Advise you to discuss this -TNF with Rhumi nurse, or GP

Hi welcome and like the others said I would speak to the Rheumy nurse, xx A

That sounds like quite a considerable reaction. I'd speak to the rheumy nurse or the delivery company if I were you?
