I don't normally request pocket dwellers but if you've got a spare moment please, I'm seeing my rheumatologist on this Tuesday (12th) at 3.45 pm. I've got to make the decision about staying on cimzia or not and if not, considering another anti TNF. I still genuinely have no idea what to do. :?

Thank you! x

    Certainly, pocket duties are one thing I can do! I'm very sympathetic to your state of indecision; I have a terrible time making up my mind so I'll be of no use that way. Hand-holding I can do :D

    Good luck!

    I am sure between you and your consultant the correct decision will be made.............good luck...............Marie xx

    I too will be there. Your dilemma takes me back to my early anti-TNF days, I had an initial cracking success with infliximab (walked in on sticks, walked out without) but then it tailed off: I thought that meant it was no longer working but a good few years on I realise my mistake. :( Hence my 'satisfaction' with the humira and meth combo. It's not enough in my book but I realise it is the best I am going to have.

    I will be there, just give me a shoogle if I start to snore a bit.....
    Moving from one drug to another is a tough choice. I agree with DD we are always looking for more but I wish we could have an undo button sometimes- I think infliximab was my drug but they moved me off it for money (not that they said it straight to me but...) and I have never been as good as that again.

    Have a good natter with your rheumatologist, Sophie. I hope you are happy with whatever outcome ensues. I shall be there.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I'm with you too in your pocket for today's rheumy apt Sophie. I hope it's warmer in there than it is in bed at home where I'm currently malingering :lol:

    Good luck with making the big decision - hopefully your rheumy will help make it with you (especially with us all playing borrowers and willing you to ask all the right questions from your nice warm pocket!)
