Pneumococcal Disease Prophylaxis
"My rheumatologist had me take it during a routine visit.  Had not been taking any ra meds..humeria and methotrexate for five months since i felt 110% better and didnt feel i had it anymore.  I had almost continous respitory infections while on these medications.  The nurse told me it would sting and my arm would hurt for a few days.  That was the least of my worries.  By that evening i had chills, a fever, and rash.  Could not even get out of bed the next day and go go work which is very rare for me.  Went to work the next day and had a terrible honking unproductive cough and was wheezing and felt like I couldn&#039;t catch my breathe.  I called my doctor and she prescribed a medrol pack.  Helped somewhat but then ended up with a sinus infection."
