Cimzia and House Calls?

[jessicatisdale1987]

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?

The only reason I could think that they do the first cimzia at home is because it is widely used for arthritis so it could be easier for people with mobility issues having someone come to your home. Have you asked if you could arrange meeting at a GP surgery or hospital? They may be able to arrange something for you.
The only side effects I have had are dry skin and some rosacea nothing that is hard to deal with. I have done well with cimzia and have been on it for around a year now and I'm able to much more than I was before being put on it.
Good luck
