Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I've gotten my flu shots for years...I've been on Plaquenil, Arava, Methotrexate alone, Enbrel & Mtx, Remicade & Mtx, Kineret during these years, and on Humira and Mtx together for over 2 years now. Prior to my great weight loss, I was on hundreds of units of insulin and 2 oral diabetes meds daily, plus quite a few other drugs. I have had no problems at all with the flu shots, and absolutely no flu bugs in all those years. Love & hugs... Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
