Subject: Hi everyone new to the forum and need advice re Cimizia

Hi everyone,
Sounds like this is the place for some sound advice.
Diagnosed with RA 13 months ago failed a number of DMARDS and now just started Cimizia.
Just had the first two loading injections and l have noticed that when l go to bed and lie down l have palpitations in my chest and a feeling of indigestion
I noticed on a few treads back that l think it was a guy called Curtis mentioned a similar thing.
Is this a common side effect? and just wondered if Curtis is reading this has it settled down
Any advice l would be so grateful

hi Lisa, I am on Cimzia but haven't noticed that. Are you on steroids by any chance? They tend to give you indigestion. Are you feeling the benefits yet?

Hi bsk
Thanks for your reply no lam not currently on steroids at mo (makes a change!)
Only had the two injections as the first loading dose l think i have had less stiffness and pain
but my Ra nurse said l should notice an improvement by week 6.
Just keeping my fingers crossed it works.
Has it helped you?
By the way didnt have the palpitations last night so maybe its settling down
