I was diagnosed with RA in May 2007. I started on methotrexate and plaqunil. I started taking Cimzia in Dec. 2009. In April 2010 the plaqunil was stopped and in Jan. 2012 the methotrexate was stopped. I have been on Cimzia only since Jan. 2012 and I have not had any joint pain or swelling and very minimal joint damage. Cimzia has worked really well and I have not had any side-effects from taking ...

Have to have some one else give the injection due to the inability to inject it quickly. Hurts less than humira but works about the same. If I didn't have a reaction to the Humira I wouldn't switch to cimzia.

Raised my blood sugar on the second dose to over 350. Normal for me was 100-115. Felt awful on it. Stop[ed after second dose and had to wait three months for blood glucose levels to become normal again. Bad product.

I get 2 shots once a month at my doctor's office and my medicare and AARP covers the very costly med but it has put my RA in remission. Very happy with it!

Using for psoriatic arthritis. Started in November 2014. I've been on it 6 months and while I do feel some relief, I still have pain at night that keeps me awake. Also, it made my plaque psoriasis so severe that my normal, Rx ointment won't even do anything for it. I have also had several severe respiratory infections including bronchitis which I haven't had in possibly 20+ years. I feel like I've been sicker on Cimzia than any other of my biologic medicines and I've been on 3 over the past 9 years or so. The respiratory infections alone are reason for me to want to go off this, but my doctor said I had to give it 6 months. Will see what the verdict is in a couple of weeks. Read More Read Less

Have only taken first set of shots. These ergonomic syringes are a joke. Very hard to handle and kept fumbling in order to get injection done correctly. Needle can be seen without glasses and across the room!! Hurt like heck. Went to sleep and woke up (what I can imagine from movies I have seen) like a tweaker on a bad fix. Took about 4 hours to calm down just to be in bed with a semi-lupus flare up for the rest of the weekend...And I have to do this every two weeks for three more treatments!?! Definately calling the doctor first thing this Monday morning.Read More Read Less

Believe what you read in the box insert, it can,and did, lead to a serious respiratory infection that was so bad I had a mild stroke. The shots are huge, very expensive and difficult to give yourself. In six weeks I did not have any relief at all. Save your time and money. I am still trying to recover.
