Do you ever feel that the medication causes more stress than the disease itself?
I'm home not due to RA symptoms but because I have a temperature and UTI thanks to
cimzia
and have been vomiting, again thanks to
cimzia
! Then, I have the monthly bouts of thrush thanks to MTX and headaches from leflunomide and of course, the countless infections and viruses and colds.

Rant &@£? Bloody crappy body of mine. &@£? Rant
I've received outstanding treatment from my clinician and zoomed thought dmards to settle on
cimzia
. However approx 8 weeks ago I developed a dead foot and random numb patches across my body. Again there has been no delay in providing swift treatment for this.

Cimzia injectees - please look here!
I wanted to start a thread so that us
cimzia
injectees could swap stories. I had my first 2 injections of
cimzia
last Tuesday. I felt terrible the next day - sick, dizzy and headachey but it wore off. Not much difference in terms of RA symptoms yet though.

Hello....... I know its been a while!
On the RA side Im still on Meth and
cimzia
injections, plus all the other meds and having been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last October I am on Dosulepin - my happy pill- and I am so calm, not so emotional and not in quite so much pain. I have bad days but rejoice in the good days!!

Anyone else feel rough after taking Cimzia?
I know a few people here are on
Cimzia
, so I'd appreciate hearing how other people tolerated their first dose. Thank you.

Refrigerated medication question
Anyway, I'm starting
Cimzia
on Tues (yay!) and the nurse phoned today to tell me to take the meds out of the fridge before she comes to ensure it's prepared.

Methotrexate side effects
It helped my joints but I developed injection site reactions so was changed to
Cimzia
. This has been better & my joints are fairly settled apart from the flares but it is a very sore injection - is this typical?

Mashed up knee................
The upshot of this nasty knee is no
cimzia
this week because i have an open wound. I have a few bruises and gashes and it has upset the old body to boot as well. At the moment i am sitting here with shorts on and savlon on my knee and letting it get some fresh air.

"Signs of infection? Speak to your doctor."
On the other hand, I'm due to start
cimzia
in the next couple of weeks and I don't want anything to delay starting the treatment. So, when do you see the doctor - at the first sign of a cough or you do you wait and see?

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?

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!!!

HEAT......................
My bloods last week show that the
cimzia
is working,mind you you wouldn't think so the way my joints are. I am a lot more cheerful and i am doing more before the heat gets too hot. At lunchtime it gets too hot and in i go and draw the curtains and rest.

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.
