Guest guest Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Has anyone had a bad infection while on Enbrel? I've had a real bad infection on the back side of my left hand. My hand and wrist were swollen up twice the size it usually is and I had two sores that look like boils on it. If you've ever seen a spider bite that's what it looked like. When it finally opened up it drained for a whole day. Then I had to go to the doctor the next day and she numbed it and pushed the rest of the pus out of it.I had to take two courses of a strong antibiotic to get over it. I haven't been to my Reumy yet. I called him and his nurse told me to quit taking the Enbrel while I was on the antibiotic. My family doctor treated me for the infection. I've been on Enbrel for 10 months and this is the first time anything like this has happened. I'm very thankful that's it's almost healed and I can go back to work on Monday. What kind of eye problems can Plaquenil cause? Tuesday I developed a floater on my right eye and I thought it might have something to do with the Plaquenil.
