Used to require a long round of antibiotics, not sure if they have a better treatment now.

I have RA and OA and just had my first knee replacement on Monday.

If you are using TB to refer to tuberculosis, as long as it is dormant or in remission you shouldn't have any issues at all. All they need is a chest xray and a blood draw.

My doctor says now that I am taking Humira I need to take 2,000 mg of V-C a day and 5,000 mg of D3 a day to help me from getting sick. IDK if that helps anyone with this information, but my primary helped me get through some horrible auto-immune that this RA causes and he's really smart. He knows what he's talking about and suggests that all medications and vitamins be taken with food. Hopefully this helped. Much love. Don't hesitate to reach out.

I heard that repertory problems can occur. Kind of scary considering I cannot get a covid shot because of the RF making the auto-immune disease unsafe for vaccinations. I had a flu and had an RA flare up because of a flu shot back in 2017. It was when I found out that I had RF. later I was diagnosed with RA and it just makes me weak. My medical records now say I am allergic to the flu shot LOL.
