I Can't Seem To Get Well

I caught something about 6 weeks ago and can't shake it. I stopped taking the Enbrel now for 3 weeks and still have symptoms. Is this how it is for all of us?

If I were you, I would contact my RA doctor. ANY RA medication(s) lowers the immune system. A few weeks is a LONG time to be sick and NOT know what it is!

Good morning MarcarPackin have you gone to see the Dr. Just in case it's a infection.

I got very sick for 3 weeks in Jan. It turned out to be infectious bronchitis. Took forever to get someone to prescribe antibiotics. I understand that they are over prescribed, but it was obvious after 10 days, in my mind anyhow.

I'm so sorry, how are you even walking without your Enbrel? When are you going to your doctor? Have you tested for Covid, it usually doesn't last that long but Enbrel does lower our immune system. A few weeks is a long time to be sick and not know what you have it could be serious.Please go see your doctor!
