Yes. I tested positive and I will be completing treatment next month. I can't wait. I've have had a sore throat, thrush, and loss of taste. Also, I've been off treatment for RA. I've been under the care of an infectious disease doc and she refused to allow any biologics. Isonzid is a difficult drug. Wishing you good luck

Thanks for replying. I'm having such a difficult time with this med. Its ruining my already difficult life. I'm still taking the methotrexate with the isonizid. No one said anything about seeing an infectious disease doc. I can't fall asleep at night but then I'm sleeping so late I'm the morning. I feel dizzy and get waves of nausea. Well thanks for your input. Glad your done with this
