Why does a nurse have to come to my house to administer my first dose of Cimzia? Why can't I go to them? I am a foster for 12 dogs - yep, 12 - and it will be a huge hassle to arrange this meeting! Also, what were your side effects, if any? Would you recommend Cimzia?

Thank you ALL for replying! I probably should have been more specific but I was upset with myself at the time of my original post, so here is exactly my issue at this time. I've been down lately, which I am assuming is coming from exhaustion, though I manage to get 6-8 hours of sleep a night...

Haha! I'm not too familiar with the bag just yet. Care to elaborate? What you said about the colds made me think of this picture. Ugh. It won't let me post it, but it is a guy saying "I have a cold" and another guy saying "My body has waged war upon itself". The first guy gets wide eyes and...

I'm glad you are realizing they are just trying to help :) I think that is the best they can do without having it themselves. Is there a reason you have chosen not to tell anyone else?

How irritating. I've been known to have screenshots on my phone of websites describing certain symptoms so I can show them when I get there. For example, I have a screenshot for my dentist that describes the mouth sores and inflamed gums so that mayyyyybe he will learn something new and I won't...

Thank you for taking time to reply! During the length of all my medical tests I was not suffering any symptoms so I am surprised they were able to see anything. I was sure I was wasting my time. I guess it is always active whether we feel it or not?

Hello! I recently was diagnosed with Crohn's. It felt simultaneously relieving and scary to finally get some answers to the pain I am in. Problem is, I don't feel like I have nearly as much trouble with my symptoms as others I have read about. I initially took that as a blessing, yet I wonder...
