Thanks for the answers. It has not helped me so far. I have tried orenzia, xeljanz, humira, embrel and cimzia none have helped. It's frustrating.

Yes, I have been on Cimzia for 2 years. Two months ago I tested positive on my TB test. I am currently seeing a infectious disease doctor and taking new medication (for 9 months). I don't have active TB... I don't fully understand but they tell me once I've tested positive for TB it will always be positive, but once I finish this medication I shouldn't have any problem.

Cimzia has helped to a degree...according to my rheumy if it helps 50% - that's good.

Hope this helps.

This is the med my dr. prescribed but I am waiting (too long) for a second opinion. I worry about adverse effects - lymphoma, melanoma, etc.
