For all you biologic's users: My dr prescribed antibiotics because my sinus's are inflamed, but i have no symptoms of a sinus infection. He also said to NOT skip my enbrel dose. Have any of you experienced infections that dont present themselves in a regular way? Or taken antibiotics on your meds?

Apparently I cannot tolerate the Biologic's as I have tried both Humira and Enbrel and had to go off both. I am also on Celebrex. What other meds have you guys tried that is not a Biologic that seems to help?

I was just diagnosed with Tumid Lupus - I am on Humira and the dermatologist who diagnosed me believes this is the cause. Has anyone else gotten this or any form of Lupus from a biologic medicine?

I am seeing my Rheumatologist for the first time on Thursday to set up a treatment plan. Does anyone have experience with biologics and major surgery? I'm scheduled for major abdominal surgery in April and don't know if it's safe to start the biologics then have to stop and restart...thoughts?

Hi, does spondylitis really gets like this or can it be prevented with actual treatments? Here is the image: tinyurl.com/64ruuqm Im 20 years old, been diagnosed with undiff spondylitis, im currently taking NSAIDs and my rheumy says im not getting treated anti TNF therapy until he is sure that i have this disease. Im scared progression of the disease will be more agressive if i dont take the anti TNF.

Right now they haven't started MTX or TNF's I have a phone appt on Wed, still don't know if I should try MTX or TNF's, which one should I push for?I won't be able to start anything until July 25 when my mother gets back from her Alaskan Cruise, I'm not comfortable nor is she for me to start something without her being here in case there are horrible side effects as I have a dog to take care of (that's going to be hard enough having to walk him).

Some Good news about Biologics: arthritis.about.com/b/2011/05/29/biologic-drugs-do-not-incre For those considering biologics, I was worried too. See the above article that essentially states, biologics do NOT cause cancer. Have a good one everyone?

Any healthcare professionals here? I'm a clinical fellow and I just got diagnosed with AS, and the rheumatologists are talking about biologics (humira etc). My symptoms are reasonably controlled on moderate dose NSAIDS, and I'm worried about the immunosuppression when I come into contact with patients with MRSA, C diff etc... Any MDs or nurses with experiences in this?
