New to ChronsForum terrified to start Cimzia

[JT2point0]

I am 27 years old and have been suffering since 21 and 6MP is apparently not helping me anymore so my Doctor is pushing Cimzia HARD!! Reading about the negative side effects is terrifying though...I could really use some feedback from people that have used Cimzia themselves or know someone close to them that has.

I've been on it since February. We recently added azathioprine because it's losing effectiveness. But I've had no negative side effects from it at all.

Welcome to the forum I'm sure others will be along, but you may also want to check out our Cimzia Club for some information and anecdotes.

I wish you all the best!

I was on Cimzia for one year to heal a recurring fistula. In the beginning it worked well, yet still the fistula didn't heal as it was supposed to on Cimzia. I had no side effects, however, still ended up having to have surgery.
