Has any one had problems with the above. I have had RA for 8 years however, this year more than most I seem to have had sore throat after sore throat. I have cold sore after cold sore my eyelids have irritating blisters that make my eyes itch and puffy. I have constant sores up my nose and have had to have a growth and mass removed from the top inside of my nose. Which, I was told is unusual I have asked if this is anything to do with the medication I take Humira, Methertrexate, 5mg Prednisdalone. The reply is always the same NO. So if it is just me then it has to do with low immunity. I have asked the question what can I do to improve that. GP looks blank at me and says it is all part and part of the disease. You either stop the medication and suffer the pain or put up with it. Great Bedside manner. Love advice from other suffers just to know I am not alone.RollEyes

Hi Alison,

Sorry to hear you have all these problems. Having just had a nasty throat infection myself, I know how ill it can make you feel. I also take mtx and humira and they are both immuno-suppressive drugs so make it much easier for us to pick up these bugs.
I don't know if there is anything we can do to avoid it, apart from keeping away from people but that is just not possible.
Hope things start to improve for you soon.

Love, Doreen xx
