Season of colds
I've just had my first dose of
cimzia
this week and I felt a lot better, though it's wearing off now. Everyone around me is spluttering and sneezing and I'm afraid I'm going to catch their colds. Pd off about it. Do those of you who regularly take
cimzia
stop it if you've a cold?

cimzia
Hi all .. i am now on
cimzia
, was on infusion for 2 years ( stop working) now on
cimzia
and having trouble with this injection, first of all , i cant inject myself as this drug is very thick and to hard to inject, it is also very painful to the point and screaming when it goes in.

leflunomide
I have RA and tried plaquenil methotrexate and
cimzia
. The only drug that worked was
cimzia
but I had horrific side effects. My rheumy started me on leflunomide. Has it worked for anyone on here and does hair loss seem to be a side effect?

I am so sick of having to be constantly on the phone begging support, and now dreading the fact that will go back into flare-up without my injection of
Cimzia
I am now thinking our health service is in more than crisis, I think within a year or so it may crash altogether.

Been on cimzia 4 months but not 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 help.

Cimzia Injections side effect?
Rare side effect to
Cimzia
injections I posted a few months ago that I had been unlucky and suffered a very rare side effect to
Cimzia
injections. I was hospitalised with severe pins and needles.

Cimzia
I have lost just over 2 stone since end of May and I've noticed a side effect of
Cimzia
is weight gain, has anyone on
Cimzia
experienced this. I also wonder why I've been put on
Cimzia
in particular. Any advise would be most appreciated.

Few beers
Things have been gradually getting better with my new meds (
cimzia
) plus a whole host of others. Went out last night to a family party had 2 points of larger and feel terrible again. Would it be the drink or just a bad day.

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).

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.

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...
