Cimzia

[mickeysmom34472]

I was wondering if anyone here has been on Cimzia. My rheumy wanted to put me on humira but I guess thats for the rich and famouse here in the states. I have been on methotrexat and it was great until I got a perforation in my intestine. I have been on lafluentamide and it isn't really doing it for me besides giving me diarhea. I also now have phsoriatic arthritis and possibly chrohns. Had colostomy 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. So she suggested Cimzia and while it had possible some bad sideeffects. so did mtx and all the others. Sorry for long post just wanting to know how other people handle it

I haven’t been on Cimzia, but take another similar drug thats also an anti-tnf. It’s pretty much the same price as Humira, so not sure what you mean by it only being for rich & famous? They are both expensive!

The literature says that Cimzia is recommended for people with Crohn's over and above Humira.

It’s frustrating having to trial and error all these drugs, but hopefully this will be the one for you.

I took Cimzia for 7months and unfortunately it just didn't work for me, but, as we say were all different! It might just be your holy grail. Good luck! 🤗 X

I have been on Cimzia for several years now and have done very well on it. If have any specific questions please ask.

I am on CIMZIA since 2014 and I love it. It is the drug that helped me to get back control over my life and got me to remission. Good luck.

Forgot to say, we are all different and I might just be a lucky one.

I've used cimzia for the last 5 years and I couldn't do without it - helps me live a 'normal ' life. I would recommend
