I have a chest infection and a water infection, I had chills and aches but now by body hurts 10 times worse with RA, please someone help with any advice. Can't sleep or get comfortable and most of the pain has gone to my left arm, shoulder and up my neck and face.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sarah.Yeah had an ambulance out and they helped me, still not 100% though. I'd love to know of any support groups that I can actually attend in person in my area if any. Thank you
You need antibiotics for both, you will feel terrible until you get rid of infection, call 111👍
Your GP should be treating infections for you ring them in future as soon as you feel you have the symptoms of infections they are aware of your low immunity due to the RA drugs and will help you out with medication before you become so ill or ring your hospital RA helpline.
