I'm supposed to be starting Humira but I unfortunately caught a cold from my granddaughter. I'm not running a fever at all just a stuffy nose. Should I start the Humira or wait until I'm totally better?

    As a follow up to my question. My Rheumatologist told me to hold off starting treatment until I was better. The Humira nurse said you shouldn't begin Humira if you have an infection and a cold is considered a viral infection.
