Whats the scoop?

[Jeff D.]

I'm going on Cimzia in the next few weeks and I would like to know what ya'll think about it. How have ya'll been doing on it? What is it like? I'll be back tonight to give more of the story of todays GI appointment but I need to go to my girlfriends house so I'll be back later.

Thanks for the info,
Jeff

I went to the GI this morning and he said I have built antibodies to the Remicade so he put me on Cimzia. I also had a small abscess on my butt so now I'm on an antibiotic. I'm taking some probiotics as well. I get a chest x-ray tomorrow because I need to do so before I get Cimzia.

Thanks for any help

If Remicade worked well, you should be fine, they both hunt down TNF-alpha's. Sorry I can't say more, very tired from my ordeal, but your chances are good, mine weren't because they're about to give up on Cimzia, Remicade did little for me either, if anything.
