Finally started Cimzia

It's been 2 days since I took my first dose of Cimzia, the injections were a bit painful but that seems to be a trend with almost every Biologic drug I have ever injected, a small price to pay in return for less pain anyway.

So far I have found that this drug makes me very tired and left feeling toxic, that's the only way I can describe it. I have noticed this morning things have began to improve, I know it's early days but for me every single biologic I have been on has worked within the first couple of days or began to take effect. By no means is the drug working to its full effect yet but I can feel a difference already which really does make life that little bit easier. I have also noticed a strange change in my mood, not sure if this is anything to do with the drug or not but I have an unusual sense of happiness, much like the steroid "high" you can get after high doses. Those of you who have experienced that will know what I mean.

Hopefully things will improve a bit more before the next loading dose and hopefully continue to do so. I'm determined this time that once I get moving I will not return to how I am right now, I have a lot of work ahead of me just to build up my strength let alone my mobility.
