enbrel and cold sores

I am in my 40s and take Enbrel (so a lowered immune system) and also suffer terrible anxiety (especially over health issues). In a moment of stupidity, took one puff off of someone’s vape pen (they wiped it first but I don’t know them) after they said “they don’t have anything” to try the flavor. However, the inside of the vape pen has an opening that where some vape juice accumulates so it’s wet inside there.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

nexcare cold sore treatment and releev. They are both awesome and clear them up quick and even faster at the moment you first feel it coming.

And my biggest fear was giving them to my kids. We have a couple of family rules and so far (my 10 yr old and 2 year old and my boyfriend) no one else gets them. 1 rule is that we give nose kisses unless mommy says otherwise.. 2 we don't share drinks at all, I carry straws for emergency cases and everyone gets their own straw. 3 when I do get a outbreak I wash silver wear and cups in bleach before they hit the dishwasher. 4 we don't share chopstick at all.

- Avoid physical contact with the cold sore area. Touching, rubbing, and scratching cold sores can not only increase bacterial infection but also unwittingly spread the virus to other areas of the face and possibly infect other persons. - Clean the cold sore with a washcloth, soap, and warm water. This will minimize itching as well as prevent the virus from spreading. - Avoid salty and acidic foods like lemon and potato chips as these will aggravate cold sores and become more painful.

I have become very confused lately, I am 24 years old a mother of three and I HAVE NEVER HAD A COLD SORE IN MY LIFE...till now.. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 3years and one of my kids is his... so those who have had kids know that you get tested for herpes and all that other non fun stuff... and I have never had a positive test. My boyfriend doesn't get cold sores. Why is this happening to me now? Is he messing around and got something? Or have I always had it?

i have not gotten the blood test b/c i assumed it would take the same incubation time(3 weeks) to appear. i did talk to someone today who said her husband has cold sores and sometimes accidentally kisses her and she has never had one. it has at least given me a little hope. i talked to him and he said his exes and his two daughters have never had a problem with them.

especially when i hear over and over again on these messages boards, on google, and wikipedia that cold sores = hsv1. i guess i'm asking because i'm literally blown away that hsv is soooooo prevalent. what blows me away also is that people w/cold sores who have hsv1 orally have NO CLUE that it can be transmitted to the genitals, as was the case w/me. it's amazing. also, i've talked to so many people lately, educating.

Hello, Herpes simplex virus-1 causing cold sores can spread if a person touches the cold sore and then touches a mucous membrane or an area of the skin with a cut on it. Mucous membranes are the moist, protective linings made of tissue that are found in certain areas of your body like your nose, eyes, mouth, and vagina. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

I myself do suffer from genital herpes and I myself do feel all sores on the sides of the mouth are herpes.

I have had cold sores since I was like 3 ;I met someone I deeply cared for and love..I am a lesbian by the way..I telling u this because of the questions I have. So we got tested and everything came back negative for me except of course HSV1 and for her all was negative. Here are my questions and thank u in advance for answering them: 1. I have read so many different percentages of shedding from 5% to 18% the highest..which is closer to the truth? 2.

swollen glands and headache are a symptom of cold sores! Look it up! Grab yourself some Abreva! Works wonders! Try to relax and take it easy. I get cold.sores too and always have swollen. glands and a headache.

ve been seeing each other for about 2 months and long story short have now found out my gf does have the occasional cold sore OB. Needless to say, I'm a bit worried about what that means for me. I havent seen anything or felt anything. Shes not on antivirals and claims this has never been an issue I'm the past and that none of her partners have suffered from this either. Do I have any real reason to be worried. Internet has me a bit confused.

So, I usually get one cold sore a year. It's always in the same place on my upper lip and they usually come when I'm under great stress. I'm now 20 weeks preg and I've had 3 cold sores in the duration of my pregnancy. They are painful and annoying. Are cold sores a symptom common during pregnancy? Anybody else have this? Am I crazy?

The usual triggers for recurrence are fever, menstruation, stress and exposure to the sun. Cold sores are contagious and can be passed from one person to another through skin-to-skin contact. (http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/tc/cold-sores-topic-overview) Cold sores generally clear up without treatment in seven to 10 days.

Cold sore fx and polysporin patches they make for cold sores cause then you can put a small dab of cover up on it. I rarely get them now.
