Restarting Cimzia after 2 months break

[Moomin8]

Morning peeps🙂 hope this finds you as well as can be and happy-minded.

I have been off all my meds (Cimzia, Metoject and Sulfasalazine) for 2 months due to a dodgy chest xray. I've also had a ct scan to investigate further. I had a fall last August and have been in a lot of pain since that time. It turns out I have 4 (not 3 as first suggested by my xray) broken ribs which have not yet recovered! Consequently, I have not been breathing properly- causing half of my left lung to get 'sticky' and 'blunt.' But the good news from my phone conversation yesterday is that I can restart all my meds🎉 My question to you is: I remember that when I first started my Cimzia a couple of years ago, I did more than 1 injection for the first few weeks to get it into my system, so as I have probably cleaned my system out, should I carry out that regime again? I know we're not doctors but has anyone else had to take time off and start again?

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm flaring big time as you can imagine, and these meds take an age to kick in.
