I have developed a terrible dry cough for about a week now, on Monday my Rheumy put me on antibiotics sayings its the summer flu going around (been on Pred & Methotrexate for about 5 weeks now.) But I am concerned about this cough, I don't think its part of the flu as I have had no other symptoms of a flu (eg: cold,fever etc).
I have nearly finished the course of antibiotics but my cough has got worse to the point where I am coughing until I vomit, kept nothing down yesterday (so I don't even know if my methotrexate go through my stomach before i vomited after my meal). And I find its worse if I talk, so keeping talking to a minimal (much to the delight of my work colleagues).
Unfortunately, its the weekend so can't speak to Rheumy and honestly just don't feel like he is really worried about it - but now with the vomiting I am concerned and was wondering if it could be a side affect of the drugs or even part of WG, as I have read of a few of you mention about your cough...
