Last Monday (1st) I woke up with a sore throat. I thought great, I have another cold. Lovely. It's my second one since starting Humira in April. I thought maybe I was getting better on Tues. night and Weds., but yesterday I woke up with an awful cough and today it's much worse (though maybe the morning is making it worse since all the gunk sat in my chest all night). My chest hurts from coughing, my throat hurts from coughing, and I'm even having abdominal pain that may be related to coughing. The highest fever I've had with this has been 99.4, so nothing big.
So is a doctor's visit something I should be scheduling? I know they say that when you're on Humira you need to let your doctor know if you have any sign of infection, like a sore throat. Well, personally, I think a person should have quite a bit more than just a sore throat, but I understand what they're concerned with. Anyway, I've had pneumonia many times before and bronchitis a time or two. It's been a long time though.
Time to go in? I've been putting it off for a week now, just hoping it will go away on its own.
