Sorry you are having this problem. Contact you rheumatologist about

it. It's a good bet that you're susceptible to fungal infections

because you are taking immunosuppressants.

Have any of you had problems with fungus problems w/Methotrexate or Humira?

I have been on Metho for 5 months and Humira and during that time have had

Thrush of the mouth 3 times(I know, I'm 53, not 3 months with a bottle),

athlete's foot, and several perinatal fungal rashes. I have started eating

yogurt every day, which seeems to have helped a little, but I'm trying to

figure out if this is related to the medicine or something else going on in

my body. Thanks for the help.
