I'm new on here......
My question is how long before I should feel some improvement having started the biologic, Cimzia twelve weeks ago? My feet and hands are still very painful and inflamed. Walking is very painful, my feet are red hot at night and my fingers so swollen. I am on weekly methotrexate injections, sulphasalazine

MTX and Cimzia - Labyrinthitis
Hi everyone. I have a question for all MTX and Cimzia users. I’m into my 3rd week of having Labyrinthitis of which I was stuck in bed for 2 weeks. I got over the sickness after the first week but the dizziness has kept me indoors along with deafness and headaches I feel totally exhausted all the time

I'm new to this! I'm 23 years old and have RA. Sadly I've had it for as long as I can remember, actual diagnosis was when I was around 7. I've been on many medications over the years, methotrexate, sulphasalazine, humira, cimzia, actemra. More recently I have had significant joint damage to my knee,

Will any medication ever help ?
This is my 4th biologic (Orencia) and getting ready to start on my 3rd DMARD (Sulfasalazine). I have been on Methotrexate, Enbrel, Cimzia, Leflunomide and Actemra. Nothing has helped. Last 2 days I can hardly walk because of the pain in my hip. RA is a nasty thing. All i want to do is cry from this

Tapering prednisone while starting cimzia ..concerned about adrenal glands
So..i started cimzia and have had my 1st loading dose. I have a noticeable decrease in inflammation already! The only side effect so far is the fatigue they talk about.

Surgery on Biologics?
How long is one to be off RA biological like Cimzia before having major surgery like a hip replacement? Should people stop biologics before routine colonoscopies? Thanks

Xeljanz vs cimzia
Hi..i may have asked this before but am asking again. I'm at a point with my ra that I need to make medication decisions. My option is between xeljanz or cimzia. I tend to get side effects of medications so am cautious probably over cautious In deciding. I already have high cholesterol, taking prednisone

Hi peeps 😁 Just thought I'd drop in to say hi. I'm toddlin' along okish atm. Still on mtx injections (20mg), Cimzia, sulfasalazine plus a number of other bits and pieces. My inflammation seems to have stabilised - albeit still there, my crp has dropped to <1, my bloods aren't 100% but aren't horrendous

Newbie here..despise prednisone lol
Hello..im new here. I've had RA for 45 years..diagnosed when I was 8. There's been plenty of different medications and I'm about to try cimzia. I think I'd just be happy to get off prednisone! So many unpleasant side effects from it and the one I despise the most is weight gain which comes in second

Prednisolone tapering pre Cimzia
I've been on Prednisolone for rheumatoid arthritis for 8 months. Was down to 8mg but increased to 15mg 4 weeks ago to reduce inflammation before a hand op, now done and healing. I've been accepted for Cimzia. What level of Prednisolone is 'safe' for starting Cimzia and at what rate can I taper to it?
