I am considering a Biologic. Pain and fatigue is really beginning to interfere with my life. I am exhausted and sore after going grocery shopping! On a recent three day weekend getaway, I was sore and tired from Saturday well into the workweek. (I am getting iron injections. Oral iron brought up the hemoglobin, but not the hematocrit. I have no B12 deficiency.)
My concern is further compromising my immune system. Example; I started getting cold symptoms, a sore throat, early Saturday morning. It’s Sunday and the pain and fatigue from a head cold are so severe I can hardly walk. All my joints hurt, but I have no fever. Will biologic medication make me more prone to virus and infection and the accompanying pain and fatigue?
