Ill be starting cimzia injections soon.. any experiences good or bad while taking it? Kinda nervous giving myself the injection
It worked quite well. Once you get over the initial hesitance of injecting yourself, it's no biggie. The first two or three, the nurse did at my rheumies,
I was helped by Cimzia. I really noticed a difference. However, I kept getting minor infections (like upper respiratory etc.) and doc thought it was the cause and took me off and that was the last one I took until he recently prescribed xeljanz. Regarding injection, I always injected into my stomach and surprisingly it didn't hurt me at all! I carry some extra weight around my middle which is why it helped I guess. But when I gave it in the thighs I got bruises. Initially, I thought that I would prefer the location as the thoughts because something about giving it in my stomach made me scared. But I was so glad after I tried it and no pain or bruising. The Cimzia injections that I had were less painful for me because unlike humira autoinject hurt.
The needle didnt hurt going in but the medicine did going in
