Re: Signs of Illness in Immunosupressed People

Marie,

I haven't experienced anything like that, but would really

appreciate it if you could let us know if it is associated with your

RA meds.

Thanks,

Shirley

and depo medrol injections I receive monthly?

Hi Marie,

I havent posted in a while but I know that Depo can cause the sweats in

some but I have experienced the cold sweats and feeling like pure crapoff

and on. My Rhu said the the RA meds coulds cause that as well. I was on

Enbrel but am now on Hmera and I don't have the problem as bad.I had to be

takem off Enbrel for awile as I had pneumonia. I went back on the Enbrel

after about 2 weeks than I had the sweats etc..So you might wanna ask your

Dr. about it.
