It’s good to know I am not alone with these debilitating conditions (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis).

Was in hospital last year with septic arthritis which came out of nowhere but was probably caused by the Cimzia injections. I am currently on Methotrexate with Sulphasalazine but still in a lot of pain.

I hope the Humira works for you. I was on Cimzia for 5 years but last year I got septic arthritis so they took me off biological drugs and have been struggling ever since.

Thankyou. I feel happy that I have found this forum as I don’t know anyone else who has this horrible illness and I have felt very isolated.
