RE: Abnormal LFT's on Cimzia/Vivian

[Guest guest]

Hi Vivian!

I am sorry that Cimzia did not work for you. I had what I felt were good results

(not great like I did with Humira) and am very disappointed that I had to stop

this medication for a month. I see my rheumy on Thursday and am having her

inject my elbows and possibly my one knee. I did not realize just how much it

HAD been helping until I stopped it.

Was Cimzia the first medication you tried? What about Humira or Enbrel? What is

next on your list of meds?

Hope your bloodwork comes back good!

Hi Kami,

I am sorry to hear about the blood results. I am going in 10/5/10 to check

my labs. I too will be off Cimzia because of adverse reactions to it. I

have not been long enough on it to see the benefits - had only two

injections.

I know about the pain...last night it woke me up. I am so sorry for you. I

am praying that there is something else they can give you that works and is

not cost prohibited.

Take care and thanks for all your help! God Bless - Vivian

Hi Kami,

He tried me on Enbrel first (one shot only) I had very little side effects

from it. When I came back to get the supply of trial meds while they worked

with my insurance he had switched me to Cimzia - I was told it was stronger

than Enbrel.

I go to see them next Tuesday - they will decide what to give me next. I

think the problem is that the Cimzia flared my Lupus.

I am having severe exhaustion/fatigue, same pain as I had prior to being

diagnosed with Lupus. My RA pain did not improve with Cimzia.

Praying that your labs get back to normal.

Thanks and god bless- Vivian
