Hey everyone, please bare with my my keyboard is broken.
So i have a question. I've been sick since i guess saturday, i dunno thats the second day after mtx i always feel icky that day. By sunday i am normally starting to feel better. However this past sunday i felt worse. I had a slight fever of 100.3 which for me is a bit high, i average around 97. so i was miserable that night. I woke up monday hacking my lung up. and made the decision to go see the doc the next day as its a holiday, convenient my body is always! urgh. So i go tuesday, i have bronchitis no big deal..i get a care around this time each year. But im on my third day of antibiotics and i dont feel any better, i actually feel worse. This morning, this is going to be nasty, but i started coughing up blood tinged green phlegm from my lungs. I asked my mom if it was okay, she looked it up and said that can happen sometimes..so i wasnt worried. I am now no longer coughing anything up and i have a lovely head cold...i think...random congestion started up today.
I get antibiotics for bronchitis, i know its commonly viral..but for somereason i have to be unique and get bacterial bronchitis..its awesome.
also my current diagnosis is RA with acute sarcoidosis that possibly isnt acute as the pulmanory specialist never seen a particular presentation like mine. Oh..and my thyroid is haywire.

Feel better!
I ended up missing 2 doses of mtx and 1 dose of Humira cause of it all!
See your doctor if the meds are not working... you might need something stronger or something else might have turned up.
Feel better

My last round with bronchitis lasted about 3 wks, sinus infection a long with it.
My doctor also uses anti biotics due to RA.
As they pointed out it's to easy to go into something more serious with patients like us.,
Good luck & get well soon.
