Been on cimzia 4 months but not much difference..
After reading all the good things about this drug and how it made such a difference to some people, I am so disapointed that I do not feel much difference. I am on cimzia until October when I will be reviewed at the hospital. I hope I will be offered another treatment as mtx injections alone do not

Cimzia
Hello all. I got diagnosed with RA about 3 years ago and have gone through most of the DMARDS. I inject MTX weekly and have now been accepted for the TNF Cimzia. Like most of us I have looked on line about this med and yes it is a bit scary. I have had a heart attack and surgery 5 years ago so do

Cimzia/methotrexate/hydroxy = coldsores and mouth sores
I am quite used to my mouth shedding skin and having an occasional sore inside my mouth but since starting Cimzia a few months ago, am getting a recurring coldsore and more mouth sores than before (on the positive side, my joints feel much better, as do my energy levels). I am due to see rheumatology

New courses of treatment offered advise please Leflunomide-tablets Rituximab-injections Methotrexate-injections
I was doing amazingly well on Cimzia injectins but unfortunately I was very unlucky and had a very rare side-effect of pins and needles all over my body. This now means I can no longer have cimzia or any other Anti TNF drug which is very disappointing as I was doing so well on Cimza. However rather than

Does diet affect your RA?
Since having to come off Cimzia I have found that certains food now even more than before affect my joints. The main problem seems to be my knees. I am 5.6 and 10 stone but my knees are so swollen I look so over weight does that make sense? I am finding wheat sets me off the most... I would be very interested

Anyway, I know
