Anyone else feel rough after taking Cimzia?
I had my first 2 injections of Cimzia yesterday. The nurse said I might feel a bit sick and headachey for the rest of the day. I was fine yesterday but have woken feeling terrible. I feel very sick, dizzy, weak and just not myself. I couldn't drag myself into work which I feel very guilty about. :( I

Refrigerated medication question
I've been injecting MTX for 2 years. A while ago, it was changed to the refrigerated version. I've struggled since then and asked them to change to an easier syringe but got nowhere, so I just struggled. I'm causing massive bruises; they are completely black and purple and the size of my fist, no exaggeration

Methotrexate side effects
I hope this will not sound too longwinded but it is the first time I have used a forum. I was diagnosed with RA in June 09 aged 55. I was started on methotrexate but always struggled with nausea & indigestion and take 20mg in 4 doses over 24hrs. I was wondering about asking for it as an injection

"Signs of infection? Speak to your doctor."
I'm on injected MTX (20mg) and leflunomide (10mg). I woke up a couple of days ago with a chesty cough and sore throat. It could be viral or bacterial, I have no idea. Technically, it is a sign of infection but I'm not sure it requires a GP appt. I'm loathe to take antibiotics and I have systemic thrush

Miserable Weekend.....and start of an even more miserable week!!!!
Well I had my 2nd Cimzia treatment yesterday afternoon but I've no idea if its's working....still loading myself with steroids as this is the only way I can cope with the news we've had at the moment. Last night my father-in-law who has been suffering with Alzheimers passed away....although we knew it

I went to get some eyebrow tint,which my daughter got from Asda for me. I then went into Bon Marche and

Anti-TNF plus 2 DMARDs??
All going well, I'll be starting cimzia in the next few weeks - funding has been applied for etc. I assumed I'd be taken off one or both my DMARDs but apparently, I will be remaining on leflunomide and MTX for my first 3 months on cimzia. Is this normal? I'm worried about being on these heavy duty medications

Finally began Cimzia!
Well on Friday 19th July I had my first Cimzia injections. Was a bit nervous at first, especially when my nurse said I could have a go at doing the second one....but after a few minutes of psyching myself up I did it. And boy how easy was it!!! It didn't hurt at all when I put the needle in and when

Cimzia and infection
After experiencing side effects to three of the comman drugs given for RA, my consultant decided to put me on Cimzia. I went through all the necessary tests nd started my course with a double dose on a Monday. The results were very good. The next day my hands were not so stiff and I continued to improve

First 2 pricks of cimzia done......
I know when you all saw the first part of the headline you wondered what i was up to now. Well i have been to hospital and had my first two doses of cimzia given. I even done it myself and it was so easy to do. Just like injecting mtx. Next one in two weeks time, hopefully i will start to feel better

Cimzia injections
Is anyone else on these injections. I had my 1st ones 2 weeks ago, and due another 2 injections on Tues. Just wondering if anyone has had these and have they felt any relief from them. I was nervous at doing them myself, but it was nothing, and know on Tues I will be more confident at doing them.

Rituximab experience
Full of high hopes for my new treatment, I went along to the infusion unit at the Western General in Edinburgh to have my first dose of rituximab. Over the last couple of years I've had bad reactions to methotrexate and sulfasalazine, no response to Cimzia or Humira and consequently RA has been progressing
