Has anyone tried both? I'm trying to make a decision between them and they are the same cost for me.
Is one more comfortable/easy to inject? Thanks! Posted on 10/09/09, 08:10 am |

Hi. I have not used Cimzia, but I can tell you that Humira has 2 different options. There is a pre-filled "pen" which injects all the medicine at once of there is pre-filled syringe. The syringe is the way to go...TRUST ME. You can inject it your own pace..which was a snails pace for me:) It did not burn at all when administered slowly. That pen however, burns like heck!!! Good luck.

Hi, I have been on Humira for 10 months now, and it has help me, I am now pill free, I only take the shot every 14 days. Everyone is different though. Before Humira I was on Remcade infusions and it was a lot more time consuming and painful than the shot, I develope a reaction to the Remicade and had to stop taking. Everyone is different though and you will need to research and see what the doctor would recommed you to try. Good luck and you are in my prayers.
