In limbo.

I recently was put on to a Biologic drug and within 3 days felt the benefit. it was on it for 6 weeks when i took an infection and had to come off it until it cleared up.
6 weeks later and 4 antibiotics on, my infection has not cleared. i have had a major flare and have had to take time off work . i am so debilitated and in so much pain with this flare .
it is harding trying to stay positive when in so much pain.
any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really sorry to hear you are suffering so much. I have been taking a biologic for 4 years, during which time I have needed to stop taking it periodically because of infections. It often happens in FEB! In fact, I received a phonecall to instruct me to stop taking it just this week as my WCC is low and I have a nasty throat! Quite early on in my biologic treatment, I was admitted to hospital with pneumonia and was off the medication for quite a while. It's hard to be off it when it has been working so effectively for your joints though! Focus on doing everything you can to get better....rest and good nutrition...and, if you can, try not to stress (easier said than done)! I just hope you get well soon and can resume your treatment. Really feel for you.

(((hugs)))) I think most of us has been in this spot so we can sympatize with you. It helps if your doctor would give you some pain meds to get you through this.
