I just want to get cimzia going already! Update: Had First Shot, Need Info.

So frustrated today! It's taken a month to get cimzia through insurance etc and I was ready for first dose yesterday but delivery guy was way late so it was too late for nurse to drive an hour to my house, now there's a storm, no snow so it sounded like she would come today. She called and said she's not sure she's comfortable driving in a thunderstorm. Yes, I live in the mountains but not on top of Mt Everest!
I don't blame her but I'm frustrated!
I don't want to do my first dose in the beginning of the week because I'm not sure what if any the side effects will be and I can't miss work.
Anyone do totally fine with first dose? No nausea, fatigue etc?
Anyhow, hope everyone has a great weekend and thanks for letting me whine

First shot went well

So far so good! Not feeling any side effects, what a relief!
How long did it take for most of you to start seeing improvent?

Oh my that sounds terribly frustrating. You don't need more stress. Sorry I've never taken Cimzia before so I can really only provide generic information but you can check out the forum wiki on Cimzia where there's a list of popular threads talking about it that my help: http://www.crohnsforum.com/wiki/Cimzia

Thanks Crabby! I ended up talking the nurse into meeting me at a "park and ride" at a lower elevation where there wasn't snow and she trained me on the injections in her car! Lol. I kept waiting for a cop to show up and ask what we were doing ( funnier still...my husband is a cop and he was with me). It was pretty amusing.
Have a great day
