Started Cimzia

A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Albuquerque, NM

After started Cimzia, I got Covid 7 days later . It felt like my body had no fight in me, to fight the virus. My fear is that I'll get every cold/sickness that comes around. Most people don't know their sick until it's too late. My husband thinks being on Cimzia will be like living in a bubble. When I get sick, it always kicks my butt. I only had one dose of Cimzia, do you all think I should give it a better chance??

I would be starting this soon. I have read to take any precautions you can with any biologic. If around a lot of people, I will be wearing a mask. Frequent hand washing, etc. I know it won't be 100% protecting me, but I don't think it would hurt for me. I do catch things quickly and it also kicks my butt as is. I'm not saying you aren't taking precautions, I'm just gonna try to hopefully minimize my chances. Or maybe I might just opt to not go out as often not sure, but I have been thinking about this recently. I feel for you and hope you find your answer. My level of pain and discomfort would have me keep trying. As not a lot helps right now. Bless you. Sorry this has happened.
