Cimzia
Has anyone failed a couple tnf blockers ,like humira and enbrel, then had success with a third one? I know they say after failing at least 2 decreases the chances with a 3rd one, but has it worked for anyone?? I know you can build up antibodies to them. What about cimzia. Since it's pegylated, it's supposed to mask it from your immune system.
I have been using Cimzia for almost 5 years now and it is absolutely great! The shot is designed for people that have arthritis....unlike the horrible spring loaded shots Ie humaria. I was originally on remicaid and had the infusions then switched to humara then to cimzia. I also have a life time copay assistance wtih cimzia. I love cimzia it has made me feel 100percent better!
@A myRAteam Member amen! I agree. Prednisone works for me too. I'm using it until, and if, the orencia kicks in.
@dorthea. Ugh! That's terrible about the mans elbow! It's a scary medicine, but at this point, it's the only thing helping me. I have a neighbor who was on prednisone for years, and she suffered some spinal compression fractures! Your damned if you do, and damned if you don't. This disease is awful!
I am so glad that it works for you. best wishes Lola
Thanks for the input. I just started orencia not quite two months ago. Still waiting for it to hopefully work. Good luck
My Rheumatologist Wants To Switch Me From Infusion (Simponi Aria) To Injections (Cimzia). What Do You All Think Of Cimzia?
Does Anyone Out There Take Leflunomide Or Cimzia For RA. I Need To Get Off Methotrexate After 40 Years And Was Given These Choices. If So Ho
