Started 6 weeks ago. Finished the loading dose 2 weeks ago today and waiting another two weeks for my 4th dose. Seemed to notice a slight response about 18 days into it, so about 4 days after the second dose. I really have no side effects beyond a bruise where the injections are.

I've failed both Remicade and Humira, so I'm glad to see even a slight response. It's nothing that is allowing me to get off steroids, but... One step at a time.

I am somewhat in the same boat with you. Mr Doc told me yesterday that Cimzia is in the same class as Remicade andHumira. He is conducting some sort of study with the med-Cimzia. Anyway.I'll start next week. It's a sightly new medication.
