Any advice or tips please.
I got diagnosed with RA on 17th September. On 2nd October I took my 1st dose of Methotrexate. That night I went down with acute tonsillitis and uvulitis. I ended up on penicillin and antibiotics so the Methotrexate was paused. At the same time I had a burn on my arm that became badly infected too. Then 2 weeks ago I got a nasty infection in my eye. Again the Methotrexate was paused while I was on antibiotics. At that time my GP signed me off work for a week, saying I was totally run down and needed to rest. After taking his advice, I felt much better and went back to work. Now today I’ve gone down unwell again. I have a really sore throat and it feels like my sinuses are inflamed. I’ve always been so proud of not being a sickly person but now I’m beginning to think when will it all end?
Is this anything to do with RA?
Also does anyone else suffer with constant mouth ulcers? I’ve had them constantly for 2.5 years now, again is this anything to do with RA?
Sorry to winge on, but I really am reaching the end of my tether, as I suspect my boss and colleagues are too 😢
