Two weeks ago last Friday, Marsha went to her primary physician for a possible infection of her toe/toenail and was given an antibiotic. She took the medicine and then informed her gastroenterologist about the situation, since anyone taking Humira should not take it if they have an infection, since your immune system is low while on Humira. The following Monday, she went to the doctor again, to see if he thought it would be okay to take her injection. So, she did.
Last week, once again, the toe began draining again. So, she called the doctor and asked to be put on yet another antibiotic, with hopes this one will work. She started it on Saturday and has been taking it since. Today, she was due for another Humira injection. Since her toe isn't better, she did not take the injection. She was on the phone today with all her doctors' offices, and it ended up that she needs to go in again to the primary care physician to have him check it to see if she is clear to take her injection. At the present time, the toenail is not cleared up. But, she'll have to see what the primary doctor has to say about it. Please pray that this is an infection that can be taken care of with antibiotics and not a fungus that will take a long time to get rid of. If it is a fungus, we are pretty sure she won't be able to take the Humira until it's all cleared up.
Thank you for your love and prayers and encouragement at various times. We really appreciate you all praying for Marsha and this situation.
