Just wondering when you get a run of the mill cold how long does it take you to fully get over it?  When I was on Remi Imuran combo it could be up of 3 months with many complications incl bronchitis or pneumonia (and always a sinus inf).  When just on Humira alone I would be good in a week 2 at most (with no added complications 95% of the time.  I got this cold I have now over 2 weeks ago no sign of bacterial infection but I am really getting fed upw ith it now I have been using my HUmira (GI listened said it was ok).  Still have severe PND and coughing from it.  I am not as bad as I had been also been using benadryl and asthma meds.

Just sick of this darn cold and want to get an idea of when it will pass.  The doc also doubled my Imuran about 1.5 weeks after getting the cold (50 to 100mg)

I'm currently on a Remi Imuran combo and getting over a cold (3 weeks long). I was on Humira and Imuran about 4 years ago and it seemed to take about the same amount of time when I got sick. So, I guess no difference for me!

Anytime my healthy husband gets sick he gets over it quickly. But because of our weak systems I think it always takes us alot longer to get better. Hang in there it will get better, just takes a little longer for us.

I was nervous the 1st time I fell ill on Humira but was estatic to find that it only lasted 1-2 weeks (and that was for those pesky lingering effects to go away. When on remi it was a diff story even while off imuran and on remi the combo of the 2 was worse. Just so fed up with this darn cold the post nasal drip and coughing making my asthma flare up is the part I am at now...been at that part for quite some time.
