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.

Not so good I'm also on Methetrexate and Sulfazalasine and have taken my last dose off Benepali and am waiting to start Humira hopefully it works as I'm struggling at the moment

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.
