enbrel and genital herpes

Would the active use of prescriptions used in the treatment of rheumatoid diseases (enbrel, humira, methotrexate, predisone), suppress the creation of anti-bodies and interfere with ability of blood tests to accurately determine a herpes infection?

I'm in the same vote. On enbrel and have developed hpv. Very tiny bumps if even noticeable at all, but its been spreading. Aldara only made my psoriasis and psa flare up. I guess the next thing is to stop enbrel till my hpv clears up? I am 29, male, non smoker. Enbrel is the only med I take.

Doctor, I would like information related to Enbrel and MS. I used Enbrel for less than one year. I now have demylination of the cervical spinal cord, both optic nerves, plaques in my brain, numbness in leg and balance problems. I am now fifty eight. Symtoms started at age fifty six with numbness in leg and balance problems. I have been told it looks "MSish." Questions: now that the new symptom of, the optic nerves being demlinated, is it MS?

t look like herpes and gave me Terazol and it got better. Btw I just realize that the day I test I had an enbrel a day before but I was also on Terazol treatment. Would that make a change? Im really worry,I have no partner right now, but I was talking to a guy and I been distant, I don't how to handle this.

one year of Enbrel injections. Although the Enbrel may have lessened the pain and progression. other side effects and basically an unwell feeling. dizziness. sinusitis. Pain in eyes. If this is as good as it gets. there must be something better. anyone else been here and found something better?

ll be getting married this October and am curious to know if any woman out there have gotten pregnant and given birth while on Enbrel.

I've been on Enbrel for almost 9 years. I've recently been developing tremors in my hands, cheeks (when I smile), and tongue. Talked to my rheumy. He doesn't think it's the Enbrel, but I am growing more concerned. They're not bad, but they do seem to be progressing.

m thinking (and feeling) that one shot would be okay. In fact, I would rather give myself an Enbrel shot than take prednisone (which is normally what they give pregnant women with RA if they need medication. But I LOATHE prednisone and it's side effects. However - they say it's "safe.") Enbrel has always been good to me and I think it would be okay to take right now.

So just an update about this. Just when we finally got cleared for me to take the Enbrel while pregnant, we find out it's not going to be into the pharmacy until Friday AND it's going to cost $900!!! BUT it turns out it will actually probably be safer for me TO take the Enbrel. I have to control my arthritis because if I don't control it, (according to the lady at the pregnancy risk hotline we talked to today) Rheumatoid ARthritis puts me at risk for still birth and preterm labor.

Thanks smittygirl. I was on the fence with this decision but leaning in the same direction as your perspective. Sunday, today, is my injection day. I've had the p.i. for a week, and it seems to be clearing up despite the Enbrel. So like you, I agree; I'd rather itch a little, then have the chest-wall pain (my main symtom). BTW... good luck with AS. Prior to joining this forum, I read some of the past posts, and yours came forward as a real success story.

I have had two shots of Humira, I constantly have sinus issues, pain pressure, teeth hurt and hedaches. I got them on enbrel and after 9 years it quit working, so tired remicade but after 4 infusions I had such a bad insus probelm I quit it also raised my blood pressrue a lot. I don't seem to be able to handle hard core antibidoics so I can take zpack, and it helps, but I always seem to be back on it alteast every two months.

I was in between jobs and had no insurance and had to stop the Enbrel for 3 weeks, within 2 weeks the pain and stiffness was back worse than ever. The price of Enbrel is $1500.00 monthly so it doesn't surprise me that the insurance company won't give you the 2 a week you need. Talk to your doc about the other 2 drugs and see if they will better help control your pain and stiffness. Keep me posted!

My husband has ankylosingspondilitis and takes enbrel injections and has considered taking methotrexate before. Best of luck. Could be a real blessing from God :) and a healthy baby!

Nationally, there are at least three different studies beginning for the treatment of genital herpes. First, the Genocea phase one (first in humans) trial. Instead of an oral medication to treat herpes, Genocea out of Boston has taken the approach of stimulating the immune system to respond more robustly to the herpes virus in people who are already infected with the virus.

You can have herpes without having HIV and and the other way around. You don't have to have duel infections.

t there also the chance of getting herpes from non-genital areas. If someone has herpes on their legs or buttocks and rubs against your legs or buttocks you can also get herpes. I am curious how often this happens?

Further, a single small cut-like lesion is not typical for the first herpes outbreak, and none of your other symptoms suggest herpes. And you are at low risk for catching genital herpes from your partner anyway. Most people with genital herpes due to HSV-1 do not have frequent recurrences (about half have no recurrent outbreaks after the first one) asymptomatic viral shedding if much less frequent than for HSV-2.

I'M A MALE 59 YEARS OLD BUT WITH A VERY ACTIVE LIFE STYLE. I;VE HAD RA FOR 25 YEARS, STARTING TAKING METHOTREXATE ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO WITH PREDIZONE FROM TIME TO TIME. AROUND THREE YEARS AGO I WAS HAVING FLARE UPS AND MY DOCTOR ALSO ME ON ENBREL, WORKED VERY GOOD FOR THE RA BUT MY NOW MY THROAT IS ALWAYS SORE AND CONGESTED WITH PHELM. THIS YEAR I'VE SEEM NUMEROUS DOCTORS ENT, GENERAL ALERGIST AND EVEN HAD SINUS SURGERY FOR 30 GRAND, NOTHING FIXED THE THROAT PROBLEMS.

thanks for clearing that up because someone told me that if someone has oral herpes and they give you oral sex you would contract it and it would turn into genital herpes. But in reality you would just get oral herpes and not genital do i have that right?

Here's a list of common and uncommon side effects of Enbrel: https://www.rxlist.com/enbrel-side-effects-drug-center.htm If you get a fungal infection, you should call your doctor immediately. Since it is a known risk, your doctor will know how to treat you, and may recommend discontinuing the medication for at least some time.

My problem is that when I get off Enbrel, every joint in my body swells, turns red, hurts unbearably and locks up. I become completely bedridden and cannot get dressed or go to the bathroom without help. My blood tests show that, even with the Enbrel, my c reactives and other immune response numbers are very high. They tell me that they will give me prednisone to help with the reaction.

I have also been through the ringer with test for a yr and 4 months now, I finally found a Doctor that tells me ankylosing spondylitas, I just started Enbrel Friday and hope it works.

Just to let you know, as a general fact you can get oral herpes from giving oral sex to someone with genital herpes, especially if the individual has type 1 genital herpes. However, if both of you have genital herpes then you already have antibodies for the virus. This means that as long as you perform oral sex when you partner is not having an outbreak you are not likely to become infected orally.

Im 36 weeks & I have genital herpes, I haven't taken any herpes medication until this last month. The medicine hasn't made me sick at all, baby is still moving like crazy.

itching and pain that followed by the appearance of fluid-filled little blisters. By the time the idea of having genital herpes didn't cross my mind, and i decided to apply fucidin, thinking the symptoms might me from the manisfestation of a simple eczema. The blisters didn´t burst, instead i have notice a single formation by now. The pain and the itcing dissapear. I contact my GN and she confirm that i had an herpetic lesion just from direct observation.
