Hi EllieKate, I am new to this site and have just read your post and I am experiencing the exact same side effects. I've recently started Cimzia alongside Sulfasalazine for RA. I had my last loading dose on Thursday and yesterday and today I have had really bad fatigue and am in a lot of pain all over. I have experienced this every time a few days after the loading dose. Did you ever have any benefit from Cimzia once on the maintainence doses? Really hope this worked for you in the end. Xx

I am having similar issues. Took my last loading dose Friday and woke up on Monday with severe body aches like the flu without a fever and congestion. I had similar symptoms with my second dose. Did it get better?

I was on it but never experienced that. Why haven't you taken it for the last 6 weeks>
