Hello everyone,
Just thought I would post a bit of an update to let you know how I am getting on as I was having a really bad time with crohn's and arthritis.
Well I started cimzia last Thursday did the two injections which was easy, even though I couldn't sleep the night before, and since then I have been feeling a lot better. I don't know if its working this quick or a sense of relief that I finally have started a treatment. My walking has improved dramatically its still not perfect but you would think I was a different person. Also I have got my appetite back and haven't vomited for a week now. It seems so quick to have noticed a difference but I am for once in a long time feeling very happy and hopeful of getting into remission it's nice to have an almost normal life back. I am still on steroids but I am going to ask if I can taper after my next lot of loading doses so I can see if it really is the cimzia and then once I have been on this for a few months see about coming off my methotrexate or at least reducing the dose.
Thanks for reading x
