Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Just love my compromised immmune system! After being ill with something undiagnoseable for a MONTH (low grade fevers, etc), I finally came down with bronchitis and ended up in the ER last Saturday. After prednisone and several other drugs, and a trip back to my primary, I finally have a nebulizer for at home to get my lungs to open up so I can at least cough them out. I don't have asthma, and have never had bronchitis or pneumonia. I feel weak as a kitten, and my husband has had to take a week off work to take care of me AND the kids. The dr said I must try and avoid getting sick for 3 weeks, gave me my flu shot, and sent me home. Now I just recover! When I am recovered, my rheumy is going to start Remicade... after 5 yrs on Enbrel, it's just not cutting it anymore. I'm TERRIFIED of the Remicade... nothing gives me more stress than I.V.'s... including surgery, dental work, having a car accident... I'm going to have to get Valium or something to cope. <sigh> -Marietta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
