Re: Enbrel/methotrexate question

[Guest guest]

Poor thing, are you taking anything for the yeast? I always start oral

probiotics from the health food store. It will help w any yeast problems and

also help repopulate your gut w good bacteria. Clotrimazole and miconizole don't

work for me, so I get terconazole from my FP doc. If u r ouchy put plain yogurt

in the applicator and use that too. Plus in the shower you can do a white

vinegar rinse on your bottom and that can help your tender skin feel better. I'm

a red head w super sensitive skin so if I get a YI, I'm miserable! And to

babble a bit more, Enbrel isnt likely to be related to your YI. A yeast

" infection " is actually not an infection, rather an overgrowth of normal levels

of yeast that are kept in check by your healthy bacterial. The augmenting killed

the good bac with the bad, leaving you out of balance and ouchy. Feel better,

In case of any new infection, It is very risky to continue with embrel and

methotrexate, please hold these medications and contact your doctor. it is must.

Subject: [ ] Enbrel/methotrexate question

I currently have an ear and sinus infection and am on augmentin. The

doctor told me to skip enbrel and methotrexate for the week. Since

then I have developed what I think is a yeast infection. Does anyone

know if I need to stay off the meds until it goes away as well? Do I

need to report it? It's the weekend so I won't likely get anyone.

Thanks as always...

I have had vaginal yeast infections unrelated to taking antibiotics. I

did call and report this to the company. I have also had a vaginal

Strep B infection, and also a combination of yeast and Strep B. I do

stop the Enbrel when I have these infections. My thinking is that an

infection is an infection, whether it's fungal, bacterial, or viral.

Instead of getting respiratory infections while on Enbrel, I tend to

get these vaginal infections, plus allergy problems.
