I used Cimzia prefilled syringes for about 4 years. Because of Medicare and insurance I now go to the doctor's office and they use the reconstituted powder. I had almost no symptoms in the past.

I also have major swelling and pain in my right forefinger joint just below the nail, but my doctor says that is not RA...that RA does not affect that first joint. Is there no synovial fluid in the first joint?

I have been taking Cimzia for 4 months and have had a significant decrease in stiffness & pain. I do have it infused at the dr. office because of insurance purposes. It is very expensive!!!! I don't believe it is effective as Remicade. (at least for me)
