Strong negative/positive and nasty cold

[Pasjc]

Morning everyone its ages since I've been on here i got a new phone and I seemed to have lost apps and access to my favourite sites. Slowly finding my way round..I curious to know why all my medical documents on my RA for the past 10 years plus has had one of my diagnosis as serongpositive. Then suddenly a few months ago it changed to serongnegative.

On another note while I have my favourite site up and running. I have a rotten cold bad cough lots of mucas and phlem ear ache 😫. I took some medicine for congestion my BP went over 200 it seems I shouldn't take it due to long standing raised BP. I'm on Abatacept and methotrexate injections I'm very nervous about them although GP said I've no infection. Oh dear sorry to go on but sitting here worrying takes 2 days to get a reply from RA team and the people on this site are great at remedies. Xx

sounds like lots of spelling mistakes, it’s either sero negative or sero positive maybe someone’s mistyped and it’s only just been picked up on although not sure why there’s an ‘ng’ in the middle. Make a note to ask when you next speak to your nurse/rheumy, you’re getting treatment so that is the important thing😊

Some decongestants do have an effect on blood pressure. Stick to steam inhalations or saline washout.

I think I’d be tempted to hold off my injections and give my body more of a fighting chance, but obviously you’d need your rheumatologists say so. I had a similar issue with ongoing congested sinuses, but no infection, rheumatologist advised holding off meds. Cleared up promptly when I held off my biologic and MTX.
