Let me tell you what not to catch while on Humira and some prednisone...
THE FLU.
I even had the shot, and of course it wasn't effective for me. I'm on day 3 of absolute hell. I haven't been this sick since I was a kid. I am practically bed ridden. Guess I'm just happy to not be in the hospital.
How it started:
Tuesday I took my 2nd injections of Humira after the loading dose of 4 2 weeks ago.
Weds I was feeling pretty tired and run down. I really thought it was just from the Humira. My throat was a little scratchy but nothing to write home about.
Thurs- I knew something more serious was hitting me. I almost passed out driving my kids to school. I came home and slept until it was time to go get them. Decided to go see doctor because I was feeling more and more horrible.
BAM FLU. Gave me Tamiflu and some antibotic that's supposed to be serious but I can't remember the name right now. 10 day course of both. Stayed home and slept.... ALL DAY YESTERDAY.
Woke up this morning (Saturday) and I was feeling a lot better. Decided I would try a trip to the grocery store. HUGE MISTAKE. Dang near didn't make it back home. Slept all day again.... woke up a few hours ago, got some soup down and water and now I'm back in bed, sore alll over.
This sucks sooo much.
Do be careful out there.
Oh and right, they almost sent me to the ER because my pulse was 136!!! Made me lay down at the doctors office and it still didn't drop below 116. I had to watch my pulse all night... it's seems to be fine now but SERIOUSLy?
Starting to think I will never feel better.
I am sooo dizzy and weak
