Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hi folks, For those of you on Enbrel and other TNF-inhibitors or DMARDS that suppress your immune system, when do you forego your weekly meds? * Flu? (I say yes) * Sinus Infection? (Yes) How about a common cold or allergies? Would you recommend that I skip my dosage this weekend? I'm pretty sure it's allergies. My eyes are watery and itchy, and I'm congested. Very sure it is not a sinus infection. I'll call my rheumatologist tomorrow for advice, but what's your advice? Thanks everyone. --Vera p.s. Officially celebrating my First Year of managing my PA--one year ago this week was my first Enbrel injection which worked quickly and miraculously for me. Went from being almost completely immobilized to walkling virtually pain-free within three days of my first injection. Celebrating this milestone by doing the Arthritis Foundation Walk next month! Woo hoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
