Hi Harliekylo, i have to go in every year for CT scan and go through the air tests i was getting coughing's and Flem that would last for months, my doctor had it set up so all i had to do was call and he would send prescriptions for antibiotics to my pharmacy and i would use a nebulizer it went on for years but i have had nothing since this summer and i kind of found out that being off my meds so long that my lungs feel better knock on wood. We'll have a great day and i hope you feel better.

It sounds like you're having a really tough time with recurrent chest infections and UTIs. While the context provided doesn't specifically address the frequency of chest infections in individuals, it's important to consider that people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be more susceptible to infections due to both the disease and the medications used to treat it. Dr. Sparks mentions that patients with lung involvement, such as interstitial lung disease, can experience chest pain and may be more vulnerable to infections. It's crucial to discuss these recurring infections with your healthcare provider, as they can help determine the underlying cause and the best course of action for your situation.
