Hiya - I have been on Cimzia for 11 weeks now and I seem to be ok but I certainly had dizzy spells when I had the loading doses ( 2lots) but now I'm on maintenance dose of 1 jab every fortnight I seem to be ok heady wise ..Have to say also to any new Cimzia people the stuff is AMAZING :) ... Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon and I know somtimes the magic wears off and you have to change biologic but for now it's great. I hope your dizzy spells disappear if not defo ring your rhumi team C x

Been on it now for almost a year and I am so much better. Not sure if Cimzia is the cause of my problems. I can cope at the moment so will carry on. Should have mentioned it when I saw the rheumy last month. Good to hear you are doing well on Cimzia. I saw your posts when you were waiting to start and was hoping that you were doing well.

On yes I remember now you've been on Cimzia for a while ....your advice re injecting was great too , you said about making sure you take it out of the fridge in good time so injects easier and I agree that does work for me and isn't so 'stingy' . Re light head and dizzy I remembered today that since on Cimzia if ever I'm coming down with somthing like a cold , the day before I'm a little light headed I've always thought its the body trying to fight off germs etc ..?! ... Glad it's working for you too just keep an eye on that dizziness :) Claire
