I started it roughly a month ago so I'm just finishing up the loading doses. I take my last loading dose on Monday. I haven't noticed a huge difference, but symptoms have improved slightly. I haven't noticed any side effects from it other than it being red around the injection site.

I have been on Cimzia for several years. It has helped me tremendously. It worked independently for a year and when I started bleeding again, my GI paired it with Lialda which worked for another year. Recently I started flaring and bleeding again so I added a natural product called Bee Propolis and it has stopped my bleeding and diarrhea so I will continue taking the three for as long as they work! I am also starting the SCD. As for the Cimzia, I haven't had any side effects or problems to report. I hope you have a long remission with your Cimzia! Take care!

I've been on Cimzia since September 2010. It has worked well for me. The only side effect I have had is recurring sinus infections. I get what anybody around me gets. That is annoying but my crohns is under control.

I'm doing my last loading dose of Cimzia tomorrow. I started Entocort a week before the Cimzia, so I don't know which is doing the job, but I'm almost in remission. I've gotten bronchitis once, but otherwise no side effects or infections.
