In an earlier post, I explained that I didn't need to take Enbrel for about a year, but my symptoms suddenly came back. My doctor put me on Sulfasalazine (1000 MG 2x per day) plus up to 9 Advil per day. He offered to give me Prednisone, but I have so much Advil at home already. He reasoning was that I would just keep getting sick while on Enbrel, so I was wondering if anyone else had their meds changed.

I'm still on humira and wouldnt stop taking it for any reason. I did not get the flu shot either. I just take extra procautions. Very frequent washing of hands and using sanitizer, coughing in my sleeve. Stuff like that.
