I've had it for a few days now & it seems to be getting worse rather than better, it's now gone into my sinuses
My rheummy has told me int he past to get antibiotics earlier rather than later as any bug affects arthritis. Of course it's coming up to the weekend so I probably wont' get an appointment tomorrow although our surgery does get the duty dr to call you back to see if you need to be seen.
I've sat around for 2 days & have been bored, it also doesn't help the joints as they get stiff & sore.
Poor you. Go see the doctor. If you feel better then hold off with the antibiotics.
Hi Pauline,
I'm feeling rubbish too, got a stinking cold, first one I've had since starting on MTX. I'm in a bit of a quandary too, with the weekend coming up, not sure if I should be getting myself to the doctors tomorrow.
Hope you feel better soon. I feel like ive got a permanent cold/cough but never sure if its meds or just the fact i work in a school everyday!

Thank you everyone - had a phone consultation with my GP & got some antinbiotics, hopefully they will kick in although I suspect it is a virus but at least they should prevent any infection in the sinuses
