Make sure you let them know before they set up the infusion Carole. It's not worth having a bad reaction for the sake of delaying the infusion a week or so. I had a couple of strange spots the day of my infusion last December but didn't say. I had a bad reaction to the infusion - and a full dose of shingles 3 days later!

Hope you feel better and can get sorted soon xx Ailsa

If you are not feeling well, don't have anti tnf's that week because it wipes the immune system....and you need to fight more when you have a cold.

Have you got a rheumy helpline for hospital? Or ring NRAS helpline.

Good luck!
