Hi and Welcome to HW,
I have never been on Cimzia. But there are people on here
whom are using it now.

Been on it for 3 years. It's worked well with no side effects. The shots hurt a little, but only for about 20 seconds.

Warm it up at least 30 minutes 45 was better, less pain after injections (2). No side effects, but didn't really help me. I don't take it any more.
We all respond to these drugs differently. I read on here many are happy with it.
Regards,
T

I'm still waiting to see if they work. How long did you all wait to see if they are effective?

Worked great for me for about 3 1/2 yrs. Now diarhea for about 9 mos. Also mequito bites I had before I went on it just won't heall. 3 dermatoligist, nobody has been able to help. I skipped 1 mo and more than half of them healed. I'm going to take a break for at least a mo or so. May change to Humira. Pharm told me that occasionally after 2-3 yrs some patients do become resistant and the drug is not as effective so their dr switches to humira.

i have been on cimzia for roughly a yr.  so far so good.  as of two weeks ago my whole body aches.  did some blood work yesterday, and waiting for the results.  Being positive about it.  yeah

I have had this d/d since 2003.  could be worse.  then again it could be better yeah

I just try to live one day at a time.  That is what gets me threw each day.  I have been to Mayo clinic a few times and that is why i say it could be worse.
