Yes, before I was treated for spondylarthritis I was sick all the time. The odd thing is that being on biologics has made me healthier, I still get sick, but its not as bad as before.

It’s common for people with autoimmune issues to have low white cell counts and low neutrophils which means your immune system is compromised and you can get sick more easily and often 😞

Yes, all of the above and keeping good Vitamin D levels is helpful too. Your doc should be able to give you all the information you need specific to your own health.

I do but I also have asthma. It’s never just a cold for me, always becomes something more. Biologics definitely increase your risk of getting sick but it’s a risk vs reward situation. I’m not sure if we get sick more bc our T cells are so ramped up, not sure if even drs know. I know how it feels though, good luck to you.

Yes, I do.
