Yes, I did. I kept headaches, stuffy nose and sinus like issues. I now use Enbrel with none of those issues.

I have been on cimzia and remicade and have gotten upper respiratory infections. I'm prone to bronchitis and uris so the immunosuppressants can lead to them. Just remember not to take any of your ra meds while you're taking antibiotics

I take Enbrel and have the same problem, it's one of the sight effects, But my problem always extends into my chest. At one time it turned into pneumonia. Something we had to live with I guess. I know my Enbrel has helped me to keep walking and moving.
