I started feeling mild common cold symptoms on Tuesday night, started some OTC meds on Thursday. Whenever I catch a cold or have any type of infection I have to stop my RA meds until the cold/infection clears before I can continue. Something very interesting happened.... as I felt the cold get worse I ramped up the OTC meds and backed off my RA meds. .... My RA symptoms vanished. My once puffy knuckles look thin and bony again. No muscle pain whatsoever in any part of my body!! ... It was as if the OTC meds brought down the inflammation. Odd side effect, wanted to share. Has anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts?
