Ankylosing Spondylitis- Inject with me- Cimzia | My Arthritis Story

Hi! I’m Jes, a mama of toddlers, a loss mama, an Endo Warrior, and I battle Ankylosing Spondylitis. I am someone who believes human connection can heal us !
I had a total laparoscopic hysterectomy on December 20th 2019. And diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis in October 2019
I’m starting my RUclips channel with no experience, and learning along the way! I can’t promise all my content will be endo/ hysterectomy/ Ankylosing Spondylitis related , but I can promise I will always be authentic, and have real conversations about the stuff that’s hard to talk about , including loss, grief, chronic illness ,parenthood and being a human !
Thank you all for the support so far! If you want to chat with me privately, here’s my contact info !

I've been on cimzia for a year now for my RA and I've never been able to inject in my stomach freaks me out too much and my cimzia Injection always seems to ache really bad when I inject. I take cimzia every 2 weeks, but I also inject methotrexate once a week which I do in my stomach. Compared to the cimzia the methotrexate injection is like getting a nettle sting. I used to be so afraid of injections and needles and now I don't even bat an eye at them. Just another day another Injection and living with RA. Thanks for the video it's nice to see other people sharing their stories makes me feel less alone with dealing with RA ❤

I am just starting it today, I have been through 3 others over the past two years simponi worked great but fell off after about 8 months hoping this one is it

[@AnkylosingSpondylitisMan]

The biologic I'm on is imraldi. Not sure how different it is to what you're taking, but mine leaves me immunocompromised which is an unfortunate side effect.

[@HanaFilms1]

I felt myself go weak watching this... I might need to start biologics for my spondyloarthritis and I'm so afraid of needles

[@RockSaltMediaCo]

Curious as this video is 4 years old, how did it work for you?

[@catalinasevindik1233]

Guys can you let me know if it helps for the dry eyes and mount?

[@sineadwardward8806]

If been on them since the 30th of April and i find they do help me im down to 1 now fingers crossed it keeps helping me with my pain took 8 years for me to find something to help me with my pain x

[@lailalaasri8352]

I am planning to get pregnant, God willing. Will Simzia hinder that?? Or causes delayed pregnancy?

[@Djmarkyrush]

I’ve been putting of biologics for 10 years now the side effects are scary I hate having AS

[@dagmastr12]

But you know that the alternative is worse. I feel you.. I also have AS and reactive arthritis.... It's been like a new lease on life for me 😉

[@Djmarkyrush]

@@dagmastr12 what bio logics do you take ?

[@Mary_A]

Hey Mark, what side effects are most scary to you? Sorry I’m about to start on Cimzia and just wondering what I need to know before going through with it!

[@muresh09]

Do you have anxiety or panick attacks after starting Cimzia? Cause i do after i started my first dose everyday since then and i use xanax to calm down.

[@elenadiel3847]

Hi, weiß jemand, was man machen kann wenn so ein Fertigpen nicht funktioniert? Bei mir war die Nadel nicht raus

[@user-xr8de8nj8r]

why do you have the auto injector however I saw another Cimzia like usual injector?

[@dagmastr12]

Funny... I like the leg.... I have never even tried the stomach...too worried..

[@samanthahorler2711]

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your video. I have been on cimzia for 7 months now as switched to try for a baby! I inject into my thigh and i find it so painful! I noticed you have it out of the fridge for an hour before administering, would you say this helps to make it less painful?
Any advice will be soo appreciated!

[@Mary_A]

Hello Samantha,
Im about to start my journey on Cimzia next week. How has the journey with fertility been going?

[@breadfan9]

Cinzia comes in a pen form? I have syringes

[@dagmastr12]

You got cimzia with auto pen?
