How do I know if Cimzia is working for me?
Morning peeps🙂what a thunderstorm we had last night, in Essex, eh? My question is as I said in my title. I started Cimzia in December 2016 (had a loading dose -2 injections - for first few) and have continued bi-weekly since. My last blood tests (2 weeks ago) showed that my crp has dropped to <1 and

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hypothyroidism and frequent chest infections
I am now 43 and was diagnosed with Underactive Thyroid at 30 and RA at 34. I have been on Methotrexate since RA diagnosis and tried various other DMARDS but none were helpful. 2 years ago, I was approved to try an anti TNF called Cimzia. It was very successful at putting my RA into remission. However

This MUCH fatigue on Cimzia?
My Dr decided I didn't need a starter dose, So I took only 1 injection of Cimzia, at the beginning. Since I had been on Ebrel weekly, Took 2nd dose a week later. (Oops) That First week I Slept 16-20 hours of the day! Once I had 2nd dose, things were better. i was able to do things I had dismissed as

Saturday Sensor Inserted: DEXCOM (Sensor del sábado insertado: DEXCOM)
Bueno, es sábado y
cambia
el dÃa del sensor. No puedo creer lo grande que este sensor que acabo de quitar funcionó. Me quedé muy sorprendido ya que estaba un poco preocupado de que uno tendrÃa algunos problemas mientras yo estaba fuera por los últimos dÃas ....

Chicken pox in school again but now using Cimzia- what to do?
Hi peeps- hope you're feeling the weekend? It looks like a sunny day here in the SE of England 😎 I have posted before about chicken pox (or pops as it's usually referred to in my workplace) but that was before Cimzia was added to my arsenal of meds. I was told by my nurse to be very aware of the virus

Paroxysmal Afib at 60
I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal AFIB 6 months ago. I didn't realize I had it until I was diagnosed during a routine visit to my PVP. I was sent to ER where I was also told my creatinine level was at 2.1 with 1.27 being normal. My kidney function has slowly come back in the last 6 months but it has

Rheumatoid Arthritis together with Sarcoidosis
Have landed back in hospital after having another infection which they can't see where it's coming from. It all started by going on Cimzia which induced coughing and I ended up in hospital with a chest infection. Meanwhile they found out after test that I have sarcoidosis. They took me off the methotrexate

Cimbia or Orencia? Need help deciding
Got some disappointing news today - a third round of liver tests shows that my body is rejecting MTX. My doctor is recommending Cimzia or Orencia as the next course of treatment, as I also have psoriatic arthritis. I am SUPER nervous about this. Last year i did three TNF inhibitors and the last one,

Cimzia and weight gain
In need of some advice or information. I have been on cimzia injections for 5 months now and have been doing very well with them, but I have experienced a significant amount of weight gain. Also, my joint pain and GI cramps are back significantly. I am convinced the weight is from injections but doctors

Biologic funding; little did I know!
Morning peeps-hope the night brought you some rest... I decided to skip dinner (which I made) and after a bath, take to my bed; I'd had enough of yesterday 😒 The day started on negative: I'd rung EDF, being a customer, as I'd been advised that smart meters were being installed in my area and that as

Cimzia Pen Injection
Hope you are all feeling ok. I need some advice. I was on the normal Cimzia injections but have changed to the pen injection and wish I hadn't. Just tried my first pen injection with my husband checking I was doing it right but failed miserably. Has anyone else had problems with pen injections? I

Back to the drawing board 😩
It's back to the drawing board for me again. Came off Orencia as it didn't work and made me feel ill. Rheumy put me back on Cimzia but I came out in hives all over my body after the 1st loading dose. He thinks I probably reacted to it when I took it the first time. I did have rosacea and hot flushes

Cimzia
Hi, I'm new here . My husband (a technophobe) has been on Cimzia for a couple of years now but it doesnt seem to be working as well as before. He is nervous about telling his Rheumy nurse this in case she stops him using it and doesnt replace it with something else. Has anyone else experienced a biologic

Treating the pain
Hello, I wondering if I am the outcast here...my first rheumatologist gave me narcotic pain meds to treat the pain while we try meds to control the disease. She said this was common practice and that I should not be concerned with it and once we find the right medacine I will no longer need them and

Cimzia Question
Hello, I am Travis,134th. I had my loading dose of Cimzia Feb.7th and my pain has dramatically decreased. My question is other than the chance of the pain returning is there any other issues if I stopped the injections after a couple of months? Thank you, 134th

Need to start nsaid again but which one....
Morning peeps- hope this Sunday finds you rested? I am still waiting for my Cimzia (started back end of Dec).to kick in and have needed to take paracetamol 4 rimes a day to try to keep functioning; I need to add an anti-inflammatory back into the mix as I'm in constant pain in pretty much all my joints
