Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Caroline, I'm sorry you are so sick! I don't have a real answer to your questions, though the last time I was on antibiotic, they did stop my MTX. At the time I thought it was to up my immune system, but it may have been because you aren't supposed to be on DMARDs and antibiotics at the same time. Don't know if this is any help whatsoever! Also, I have been told that the prednisone can definitely make you feel your pain less so you may be sicker than you realized. Just wanted you to know that you may be physically sick, but not insane!! Get well soon! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Hello, I was recently taking an antibiotic called " Levoquine " (sp), any way I was told that I could not have any dairy products (milk, cheese, etc.) for two hours prior and two hours after taking this antibiotic. I assume it makes the affects less effective. Just thought you might be interested. Marilyn PS: I also had to stop the Enbrel until after I finished the antibiotics (10 days). ----Original Message Follows---- From: zev@...
