A member asked:
I'm on mtx & humira for ra/fibromyalgia - since starting these meds i have come down with shingles twice in one year - is this a side effect? i'm 40
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Both are immunosuppressants, shingles is caused by herpes zoster which lingers in our body's dorsal nerve roots, waiting for any chance of a weakened immune system to attack. You may want to confer with your treating doctor about dose adjustment, modification, or even remaining on the same regimen, this is purely judgmental in the context of your case, only you and your doctor can decide,
