Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Well, you know what I say about my Enbrel: out of my cold, dead hands. LOL. Actually, I've had yeast infections before Enbrel. Diabetics are prone to get them, and I had one for about five years when I was in my thirties. (I really am not exaggerating.) I would use the medication, and it would go away; when I stopped the medication, it would come back. Because of that and other things, I have always wondered if my diabetes didn't start long before I was diagnosed. That, and the fact that I already had neuropathy when I was diagnosed. But my diabetes is very well controlled now, so it should not be a factor.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't even want to think about that.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 , I think I got all the help from Enbrel that I could get. The nurse of course asked me questions so that she could include it in their database of possible side effects. At least I think that was what she was doing. She also could not tell me if I should delay my next Enbrel injection, but I will, just as a precaution. I've been spreading out my injections anyway, and have been doing fine with that. The first time I had a yeast infection, back when I was young, the doctor prescribed something for a bacterial infection. That just killed off all of the good bacteria and let the yeast really thrive. So I know how to recognize a yeast infection when I get it. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Sue, I meant call your physician, not Enbrel. LOL. I'm happy to hear that you are somewhat better. I hope you'll be over this soon.
