Started CImzia

[Whezziewhoozie]

I have started Cimzia and to begin with it gave me a new lease of life. After my third loading dose I am feeling sick all the time and have really bad tummy ache. Can anyone relate and how long does this go on? Trying to keep calm and carry on but sometimes that is easier said than done. Thanks

I would talk to your rheumy nurse about the symptoms you are experiencing. They can advise you if this is a typical side effect and what to do. 😊

Thanks I am trying but they are not the eastiest to get hold of!

hi there whezziewhoozie, I was only on cimzia for 3 months and I didn't have any side effects, if you can talk to your RA doc or nurse you could ask if there is anything you can take like I do with methotrexate, I was feeling sick on methotrexate and was told to take folic acid 6 days a week and that stopped myself feeling sick within a few days, sorry I cannot help anymore, best of luck
