"I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease a while ago and was hurting non-stop. I lost over 15 pounds in 2 weeks. After about 4 months of being on Cimzia, I don't even worry about my stomach. Maintain a good diet, take your vitamins, and drink plenty of water. Cimzia seems like a miracle drug."

"I was able to use CimPay to cover my $350/month copay. I was in such total remission that it felt like I didn't even have Crohn's. Loved not going to the hospital for Remicade infusions and had no problems with injections or any side effects. Unfortunately, I have now been exposed to TB and am positive for Latent TB Infection and must discontinue Cimzia. Abdominal pain restarted at just one week past the missed dose, so I have been prescribed Pentasa."

"This medicine has given me my life back. I no longer worry about knowing where every restroom is, wherever I go. My only side effect is a headache the day after the injections."

"Love this med. Take every 2 weeks. Works great. Did Remicade before, and it's so nice not to have to go to the hospital. Very nice to do injections at home, totally recommend."

"I found it worked well, but the side effects-sharp pains throughout my body-were not worth it."
