A member asked:

Dx yesterday with bronchitis. i also have ra. should i not take my methotrexate and/or humira (adalimumab) this week? would rather stay on track.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would not take it: The joints in general do not miss a week or two off your mtx and humira (adalimumab). You will not fall off track. By staying off you are more likely to recover faster from bronchitis. Also you will lower your risk of the infection progressing to something more serious...Like pneumonia. Please let your rheumatologist know what is going on with you.
