Hi lisa, I am cimzia but haven't heard about sinus problems. I've not been well but my gp says it is a virus, gastric flu or something similar.
I've been told to always get a blood test if you are not well as your white cell count can go down temporarily and you need to stop the cimzia for a while. hope this helps.

Epaderm is a good all rounder for all skin conditions, yes try to get on prescription as the large pot is not cheap between £10-12.Take Care.
