Good morning all! So currently I am on Cimzia..which during the first two loading doses did not work. During the final loading dose I was also on a 6 day steroid pack and began the maker's diet. Has...
So I have decided after speaking with my other doctor and fellow crohnies that Cimzia is not worth it because of my track record with TNF Blockers. Has anyone ever heard of or been on low dose...

Thank you guys! I called my doc and she's going to give me something to help me sleep! I just don't want to take any more Percoset...did anyone hear about the FDA wanting to take it off the market?...
