Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 hi since taking my 1st 25 mg enbrel shot one week ago i've had sore throat off and on, feeling like my ears are plugged, tongue is sore, feeling stuffy in my head. i haven't had a cold in 7 years so this is strange. i haven't been exposed to any colds in last couple weeks either. i rarely leave home. saturday i had my 2nd 25 mg shot which was uneventful. but then monday nite a headache and nausea began. i woke up in middle of nite in tears as i felt so awful. painkillers did nothing. this headache and nausea - i think it was a migraine - lasted until late tuesday nite. supposed to take 3rd 25 shot today. not sure if i should. headache and nausea have resolved but still feel stuff in ears and head. i called enliven and they told me to call doc. i did but he is not working today so can't get ahold of him til tomorrow. should i wait to take shot? it is helping the arthritis after only a week so i'd like to be able to take it but this migraine just about did me in. i think it was worse than the arthritis itself. is this just my body getting used to the drug and these reactions won't continue? or is this going to be a regular thing. enliven wouldn't ell me anything. just kept saying to call doc. HELP! thanks monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Sorry, . Maybe you should wait until you can talk to your rheumatologist.
