Felt really ill I’m never unwell.my ribs in pain with all the coughing.had to see emergency doctor cus I couldn’t stop throwing up.she give me clarithromycin.
But question I got how long do I wait before I start back on my methotrexate and salazopyrin is it a week after or more
Hope all keeping warm and bug free
I'm not too clever either pet been on antibiotics for a week now for chest infection still not cleared up need more, off meds as wbc are up got a colesore on lip never had one before, all part of having RA I suppose xxx
Yeah I no its hard to explain to ppl and get them to understand what your going through unless like you guys who do get it.are you a northerner Hin 🙂
Hope your well soon x
Only once you have finished the antibiotics can you start your mtx.xx
Yes i no but how many days after is it normally.my nurse away til 18th but I’ve voice mail hospital but not had reply x
I was told a full two days after finishing Nitrofurantoin for a UTI in summer before I could have my infusion, but I would check with your rheumy nurse and tell them what you've taken antibiotic wise. x
I have info hospital as soon has got them.it was then who told me to contact gp as soon has I got off phone with them.sure will get call tomorrow x
You need to check with your rheumatology department as I was told I should continue my DMARds
Waiting on reply from hospital Hun.my doctors told me to stop all pills x
I think each Rheumatology specialist has a different opinion regarding when to continue or stop antibiotics.
I’m on a biologic now and know I need to stop antibiotics and restart after 2 days following their completion
Guess it depends on which antibiotics you've taken and if you take DMARDs or other RA meds.
Guess it must but I no I can’t on mine.or maybe my high blood and pressure lol I don’t do things by half x
If your on antibiotics I don't think you can carry on with methetrexate or Biologics until you Finnish the antibiotics but I would double check with your rheumatologist
No your not allowed to mix them doctors told me to stop all my pills while on antibiotics but as not too good forgot to ask how many days clear before could start again x
I’d check but I was told to start mine day after I’d finished antibiotics .
Hope you feel better soon

I was given co amoxicab Which amoxicillin within it by an ENT specialist. I didn’t start taking it until I spoke to Rheumatology Specialist. They told me I can take the antibiotic and continue MXT.
Me too, told that it's ok to take both. BUT I think it's quite an individual thing as if you have other conditions, are frail for other reasons, older etc then you are more likely to be advised to stop the DMARDs.
It may be with me having a what seems to be a high count plus high blood pressure x
