Hi Michelle and welcome.

Sending you my support.

Sorry to hear about what you're going through. I was diagnosed with Crohn's nearly 20 years ago and I can most definitely relate to the long battle against this disease.

If your scans are showing inflammation then it sounds like you need a dosage change or perhaps to move meds again. Which meds did you try before Cimzia?
