Sore throat and Cimzia three weeks in-- what to do?
Hi all, I've been having a sore throat quite consistently the last week or so, just having started Cimzia 3 weeks ago and wonder what the best way to deal with this is. For example, should I rest when I feel this? Is this like a cold coming on? I have to play hockey tonight, but wonder if it's a good

Going to start Cimzia
Hi everyone, I'm going to start Cimzia next week and just wondering what people's experience has been with this drug. I'm hoping it will reduce my fatigue (I'm currently on Sulfa and Methotrexate, and am tired A LOT). I'm not sure how the transfer works from Sulfa and Methotrexate to the Cimzia. Any

Moving On To Another Trial
After a year on weekly Humira injections; I’m switching to Cimzia. Additionally, I inject MTX once a week and take 5 mgs of prednisone. I have 3 types of arthritis: RA, PsA and OA. It is a delayed diagnosis due to a misdiagnosis by a rheumatologist 3 years ago. I also have neurological factors to consider

Cimzia reaction- change to Benepali
I took a first loading dose of Cimzia last week and immediately my lips felt prickly and strange. The visiting nurse wasn’t too worried as no visible swelling, and left. Then later the front of my face felt really hot and strange. After about 4 or 5 hours it went away again. I called the hospital today

Cimzia after failed methotrexate
Hi all! Wondering if anyone is taking Cimzia?? I had been on 20mg of methotrexate since October 2017 and in remission with no pain since very soon there after. In March of this year i had elevated liver enzymes so we decreased my dose to 15mg, repeated labs and still elevated. At that time my rheumatologist

Cimzia injection site reaction
I injected my first two doses of cimzia yesterday morning. By the evening the sites where slightly swollen, but now the swelling has more than doubled in size. It's not painful and not itchy but I'm not sure what to do as it's a Sunday so cant get gold of my rheumi. I took some antihistamines yesterday

Cimzia help?
Should I go for it?? In 2011 I was told I had Lupus, then in 2015 I was told no I actually had RA, then in 2016, I was told by a 3rd Rheumy that I had PMR. I have now been with the same doctor for 2+ yrs. He has never really given me a def diagnosis. He started with Prednisone with Plaquenil. I stayed

Cimzia injection - icing before injection? Legs or stomach?
Has anyone iced your leg before Cimzia syringe injections? I have to give myself my first injection & am a bit nervous. I was on humira before and had no problem with the pen (it was easy and pain free), but the Cimzia hurts like heck and the thought of hurting myself makes me worried I’ll want to pull

Cimzia withdrawal
I have not been able to take my cimzia injection for 4 weeks due to a delivery mixup. I am suffering extreme tiredness, nausea and diarrhoea. Could this be a side effect of not taking it? Thank you for your help and advice

Hi I am relatively new here and find the community very informative and helpful. I was finally diagnosed with RA in 2008 and since then have tried to get the disease under control with many drugs including Methotrexate, Humira, Cimzia, Ro-Actemera. I have had some success but nothing seems to last. I
