Warning of Grossness!!

Okay, so I've been on Humira since October 2010 and shortly after starting getting a weird vaginal yellow/greenish discharge and A LOT of it along with burning feeling. My doctor said it was the fistulas doing this that it was a "coincidence" but sent me to a Gyno and she ran a bunch of tests anyways....they were all negative.
I've also noticed this same yellow/green discharge from my nose as well for a few days after the shot.

Seemed very odd that it slowed down towards the 2week mark and when shot was taken, it started back up. Now at 1week shots, I've had consistent gooey, yellow/greenish discharge...kinda gross!!

I wanted to confirm that Humira had it's role in this, so I didn't take my last 2 shots (now over the 2week mark) and the discharge has stopped!! the burning is eased up as well.

I have to take my shot tonight as my body is killing me, so I will see what the next few days bring me down there.

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue (fistulas or not)
 
I was on humira for about 5ish years and I never had that problem. :/

I hope you figure it out and can deal with the ickyness!
 
Thanks Manzyb for replying
For some reason, I kinda assumed I was on my own for this one.

I took my shot late last night, so far all is still normal today (well as normal as it gets there with fistulas) Just weird that this started shortly after the Humira injections were started. There was issue, obviously with the fistulas but not anywhere near this!
