Cimzia tips (switch from Benepali)
I’ve got my Cimzia ready to go and have my nurse appointment on Thursday to talk me through it all. I’ve been on Benepali for a few years so know that taking it out of the fridge hours in advance can help with the injections stinging etc. Any tips for Cimzia? The nurse is coming at 8am so I don’t want

Idacio biologic - here I come! 🤞
Morning peeps 🙂 Update on my appointment regarding changing meds... I went to hospital yesterday morning and my clinical team have decided to try me on a different biologic injection - keeping everything else the same: methotrexate and sulphasalazine. The one I was offered was Idacio (biosimilar to

A different biologic...but which one?🤔
Morning Peeps Well...I'm on the road again, looking for new turn off. Just had a call from a clinical nurse, who has decided - along with my rheumatologist - to change my biologic. I currently have Cimzia, which was really good for some time. I had a choice at the beginning of that road and chose it

Benepali pain worse than Cimzia?
Hi everyone, hope you're well! I was just wondering if anyone could help me - I've been on Benepali for the past few years however it unfortunately has stopped working so am being changed over to Cimzia, with my first loading dose being given tomorrow. I'm not normally one to fuss over injections (can

Results of biologics
So I am just wondering what’s the best anyone can expect to be on biologics? I am in my 30’s and started on Cimzia at Christmas time and I have seen a massive improvement. Not as tired and not as stiff. A lot less pain, although I am still walking up with pins and needles in my hands and they are very

Phone consultation with rheumatologist ☎️
Had a planned, phone consultation with my rheumatologist today. This one is important because I have my Cimzia signed off for another year. I had a blood test 10 days ago so that my bloods were up-to-date. Unfortunately, my inflammation markers have more than doubled since February, when they were already

Lovin' the sun; hatin' the pain
Morning peeps 😎 Hope this finds you as happy and as well as can be🙂 I'm currently shielding, but being paid from school - can't complain. I have a major problem with moving around- have done for some weeks now. I was off my meds: Cimzia, metaject and sulfasalazine are my main ones, for about 3 months

Cimzia certolizumab - Rheumatoid arthritis
Hi, my Rheumatologist has decided to put me on Cimzia drug certolizumab. They have been suggesting a few different ones so I’ve been trying to do as much research as possible but they have now decided to try this particular drug. I am currently taking Etanercept weekly injections which seems to have

Comments by my Rheumatologist yesterday re medication and Covid-19
Had my annual appointment with my Rheumatologist yesterday. I'm on hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate and Cimzia. She said the MTX and biologic do raise the risk of problems from the virus a little, stopping them would raise inflammation levels in my body and that would be a greater risk. Obviously if

Feeling lost
Hi, new to this forum but not to RA. I’ve had RA for 10 years have been on methotrexate, Cimzia and sulfa. Methotrexate has worked for years and went on Sulfa when pregnant and then Cimzia when all went to hell after the baby was born. Cimzia worked but ended up giving me psoriasis so was put back on

Started CImzia
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

Feeling nervous
I am feeling so nervous about starting Cimzia biologic tomorrow. I have had unpleasant side effects with other biologics. My hope is that this one will finally help me. Has anyone been helped with this one?
