Steve~Enbrel and Lymphoma.

[Guest guest]

Hi Steve...I have been on Humira for nearly 5 years and it has been a Godsend.

There are the concerns about lymphoma with it as well. I have, however, had

something similar to bronchial pneumonia in August which had me down for 3

weeks, then the day after Thanksgiving I got really ill with trouble breathing,

cough, low grade fever. It is still continuing. I saw my rheumy today who said

my lungs sounded ok, but he ordered a chest xray and a plethora of lab tests.

Depending on these results, my pcp says we may have to proceed with other tests.

I have worried some about being on a biologic so long, but the good results are

so hard to argue with. I have been off the Humira and Mtx for 4 weeks now

because if the illlness.

I wish I could offer you more information, and I certainly wish you well, Steve.

Hope...

Cheryle (aka Tess)
