Help needed? Could I be suffering from something other than RA?
I have been on
Cimzia
since November 2011, and the first few months were wonderful - just what they told me - I would feel fantstic! I know I have been under alot of stress since then (job, etc) but I am now beginning to feel like I was before I was on Anti-TNF.

Hello again
ME well I am exhaused - the
Cimzia
is controlling the swellings but not the joint pain. I am going to go back to my nurse on the 26th oif this month to discuss. All in all things are jogging along apart from me fighting the Department of works and pensions on the EMS and DLA for my husband.

Stopping cimzia ?
How long does it take for
cimzia
to get out of your system? Does this mean that it will be down hill all the way and revert back to the misrable state i was in before ? Has anyone else had to stop and then restart anti tnfs? x

Anyone had problems with high blood pressure.Could it be related to RA medication?I take methotrexate by injection and cimzia.
Never had any problems with blood pressure until this last year.I keep having it monitored but its never under control even with BP tablets.

Hi . New to blogging, but not RA. had that for 36years.Had my fist cimzia dose 1 wk ago. Today have all over rash; should I worry about it?
R A not responding to treatment and following stomach ulcer not allow any anti inflamitories. Methotrexate made me sick after 5 successful years on it. Take sulphasalazine still. Do anti TFN's vary much? Thanks for any feedback/

I want to work!
Anyway, my 12 week trail period with
Cimzia
came to an end on 3 Feb, and I was called into my head teachers office to ask me how I was. I told him that was still waiting for my consultant to advise me. I am suffering from bullying and harassment at work and now have my union and OT involved.

I have done it!!!!!
This will carry on for 6 -8 weeks whilst my
cimzia
takes effect and whilst I am feeling really crap. It has been recognised that I am disabled and need understanding and help to work through this really crap time I am going through. Afer this point my situation will be reviewed.

Does a lower dose of MTX mean less hair loss.
The hair loss wasn't really apparent until I added
Cimzia
to the mix.I;m really confused now as the
Cimzia
works well for me at the moment.Does anyone only have
Cimzia
without the MTX.Am hoping reducing the MTX will help.

Me & my RA - it sucks, but my story so far..........
I was immediately assesed as severe and put on anti-tnf
CIMZIA
injections. For the first few months this seemed to work and gave me some relief from the pain, although my hands and wrists were still pretty useless and the fatigue was awful.

Cimzia
(certolizumab pegol) so would love to hear from anyone who might be on it, what delights I've got to look forward to and if it works? Enjoy the sunshine everyone :-) Ann
