I got through my second dose on Wednesday night, but by mid day yesterday was experiencing dizziness and nausea. Today I've got a migraine, and so the nausea is super bad. After the first dose I had a migraine for 3 or 4 days, but at the time thought it was triggered by the weather. Has anyone had trouble with headaches, nausea and dizziness?

I'm so sensitive to medicine, I'm hoping I'll adapt and these side effects will go away. Nausea is just the one thing I have a really hard time tolerating. SIGH!

Sarah, I hate to feel nauseous as well. I have never been on Cimzia, but when I flare I do feel sick to my stomach sometimes. Have you ever tried "sea bands?" You wear them on your wrists and they put pressure on a place that makes the nausea lessen or go away. I was amazed when it worked. You can get them at the drugstore, they are called sea bands because they help with sea sickness. Hope you feel better!

I generally just get fluish-feeling the day or two after my shot.

Oh Big Betty thank you! I have those bands and worn them last time after my cimzia shot! I took my migraine medication, and a nap, but it didn't even make a dent in how I'm feeling. The bands will definitely help the nausea....off to put them on!

I never had nausea but I would get dizzy the day I took my shots. I just took it easy on those days.
Hopefully, you will adjust!
Take care!
