Hello all ~ I have a couple of strange side effects that have happened since I began Cimzia and my doctor does not seem to be of any help with these so I am wondering if anyone else has had these.
So I have had my first two doses of Cimzia ~ it has been three weeks since my first injection. I have not noticed drastic changes in my Crohn's symptoms but I need to give it more time. But the day after my injections I experience the worst fatigue ~ I am so sleepy and exhausted that I can barely function. Also I have this lovely acne ~ it is worse than when I am on 60mg of prednisone.
I have been able to cut my pain meds in half ~ YAY!! But I still need to take some for the pain. I have spoken to my dr about this and he says that what I am experiencing is not in his paperwork for side effects????
I guess I am just looking for any advice or reassurance that this is normal. These side effects are in no way bad enough for me to stop the Cimzia just curious ~ thanks!!
