Breathless after Covid and anti-virals?
Being on
Cimzia
and methotrexate I qualify for antivirals and started them the day after testing positive. While my condition improved quickly after starting the antivirals, I was left feeling quite tired. I have been quite tired and breathless recently.

Cimzia Side Effects Immediately After Injection
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis a little over a year ago and I am scheduled to start
Cimzia
injections at the end of the month. I have heard stories of other biologics causing pain at the injection site and/or fatigue on the day after the injection.

Cimzia Emergency!
Hi lovely community, Waiting on an answer from my rheumatology team but thought I would also ask here... I'm just back from a hike (abroad) where I left my meds in a fridge. While I was away they were moved into another fridge and the temperature raised to 14°c (should be at 8°c max) Can I not

Travelling with Refrigerated Medication
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had travelled around with
Cimzia
or another medication that needs to be kept refrigerated? I am travelling for 2 months which will include planes and overnight buses - so I need to keep 3
cimzia
pens cool while in transit which could be for over 12 hours at a time.

Living with Crohn's over 30 years
I have tried 3 biologicals
Cimzia
, Humira and Stelara, while also taking 6MP on the
Cimzia
. The first 2 stopped helping me and the Stelara made me catch 4 viruses in a 5 week period. I am done with biologicals, besides i dont trust them and stress about cancer while on them.

Bunions!
Last time I had to stop a biologic (
Cimzia
) for around 2 months due to ill health it stopped working. As I have been informed this week that I wouldn't be eligible for another biologic (without a fight - which I intend to give) what if I mess up my chances of Tocilizumab continuing to work?

Tested positive for COVID now on antiviral.
Being on
Cimzia
I've had 5 vaccinations. On Saturday evening however I started to feel unwell, bit of tickle in my throat and a cough. Didn't feel too good overnight and breathing was a bit more of an effort than normal, so wasn't surprised when the LFD was positive.

Why not just stay on prednisone instead of taking a biologic
Now he wants to put me on
Cimzia
to try and get me off the prednisone. In what I have read, 10 mg of prednisone is not considered a high dose. When you look at the side affects of the other drugs, they seem to me to be MUCH worse than just continuing to take the prednisone.

Anyone have experiences with Cimzia (certolizumab pegol)?
I have to start this biologic soon and I'm terrified, having had dire reactions to hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. Stories of first-hand use would be very welcome indeed!

Steroid Injection RA?
Hi, Ive been diagnosed with RA since I was 22, I'm now 28 and am currently on
Cimzia
. I've been having a flare for quite a while so ended up having a steroid injection IM into the bottom last Thursday (I haven't had one in around a year) but am still struggling with the pain.

3rd Covid vaccination and timing of Cimzia injection
I contacted my Rheumatology team for advice regarding the timing of my
Cimzia
injections. The Covid vaccination is due a Thursday, my
Cimzia
injections are on the Thursdays either side of the appointment. The advice I was given was not to inject
Cimzia
on same day as the vaccination.

Does Cimzia cause cancer?
Hi All, I've been on
Cimzia
for 18 months and doing well. I've been able to reduce but not eliminate my methotrexate and my RA is under control. My concern is the long term effect of using biologics. I've read about and known people that have developed cancer after long term use.

Appreciate Y'All!
I'm on my 3rd biologic --
Cimzia
and Humira gave me horrible hives, and I have just finished my loading doses of Cosentyx with luck so far. I have been so very fortunate to have been health issue free my whole life until this diagnosis.
