Hi Clora,

I'm not a doctor but I suspect that the Biologics have a pretty

significant impact on your immune system and thus may make you more

suspectible to infection. The concern when you're having dental work

is the possibility also of a cardiac infection called Peracarditis

which is an infection or inflammation around the heart that sometimes

can come from through the gums from dental work. Stopping the

injection may allow your own defenses to kick in to help prevent that

possibility. Always best to follow the docs directions when it comes

to these sort of things.

Praying you start feeling the possitive benefits of your shot. I'm

fortunately still living on Prednisone for now so while stiff and

some aches and pains it's tolerable. I see my Rheummy Monday for the

results of all the tests they did.

Have a great weekend.

Bob and group;

Thank you so much Bob for that great explanition.

Yes I agree always best to follow doctors

orders. Sorry about the Cardiac infection.

THe nurse just left here. She put a pump on my

daughters c-section. She got a staff infection.

I hope this works for her. They think it was because

growing up she took a lot of antibiotics and

became immuned to their antibiotics. I feel kind of

guilty for giving her the antibiotics.

gentle hugs

Clora

Haaaaaaaaaa omg the subject line is Clora's

in pain.

I feel better today group. Thanks for the

encouragement. I will remember to put OT

on subject line from now on lol.

Yes I was truly imbarrassed

when I told the representive I needed the air

to come out faster. I had no idea how

to say the pressure was to low. I just

wanted to forget about it at the time. I

didnt know the doctor gives the orders.

I got a call this morning from the

hospital where I do the sleep study.

The said I could bring my face mask. I

told them theirs hurt my face.

I do appreciate you sending me

a post Darcy. I don't feel stupid

anymore. I do have a college education.

I have forgotton a lot since

my college days. Also I do believe

I have fibro fog. I cant think of words

at the opportune time when I am talking.

gentle hugs everyone

Good luck with your pain!! We have to stop our shots because these

medicines suppress the immune system and can cause infections to get

much worse. I'm sure someone can explain this better than I, but this

is the easiest way I can think of to say it...

Hope this helps

Hi Clora - I pray your Humira injection is kicking in and giving you

relief now. You hit the nail on the head with how your neck and head

are feeling. I told my Rheumy once that my head felt too heavy for my

neck and he made some kind of wise-crack joke that I totally missed

and ended up saying " Huh? " . He chuckled and said nothing else.

When I was going to PT, I had some stretching exercises to do for my

neck. When my head gets to feeling too heavy, I know I've slacked off

on my stretches too much. I can email anyone a copy of the page if you

want, but basically its sitting up straight, lean your head to one

side as if you are going to touch your ear to your shoulder. Don't

force it to go, but lean as far as you comfortably can. Hold for 10-20

seconds (as long as you can tolerate), then return to the upright

position. Do the same thing for the other side, front and back. It

really helps me. You might hear some popping and cracking like I do,

but for me the noises mean relief of pressure on my neck.

Anyway, best of luck to you.............Doreen
