So he dx'd #nrAxSpA, and prescribed Cimzia in line with FDA and College of Rheumatology recommendations.

For about a year, Cimzia worked! But after the year mark, things began to get worse. The immunocompromising effects began to add up and I started getting infections for which I had to start and stop treatment, which can reduce efficacy of the treatment.

When I was first diagnosed in 2020 for #nrAxSpa, the 2019 College of Rheumatology strongly recommended treatment using TNFi (high level of evidence), and only conditionally recommended OSMs.

Not to mention, OSMs have had very little evidence of providing relief from axial (spine) symptoms
