Trying Cimzia
Hello everyone 😀 My Rheumy wants me to try Cimzia injections bi weekly. Does anyone have experience with it? I'v had 2 injections ( double starter ) and feeling terrible so far 🙁 Can anyone shed some light? Thanks
Hi there 1keylimepie, thank you for being here and for asking. I personally do not have experience with Cimzia though I do with other tumor necrosis factor drugs of the same class. I also have had experiences where right away I felt awful on a new biologic, and can relate to that frustration and worry. We encourage you to discuss this with your doctor as soon as possible, since we can only provide information and personal experience here.
I am hoping someone with first hand experience with Cimzia can chime in here. In the meantime here are two articles that might be of interest to you.
