RA meds caused lower immune system

Diagnosed in August 2007 with RA I was immediately put on Methotrexate, Celebrex and Lyrica. In January 2008 I began Humira injections 1 every 2 weeks. Well, on Sept. 12 I developed pain in my left elbow which I thought was an RA flare up, but the next day it was about 3" red hot circle around my elbow. I went to the local... Read more Chevron
