Went to ER on sundya secondary to injection site not healing, red, very tender on whole buttock, and spreading down leg. He gave me antiobiiotics for 10 days,but wanted me to follow up today. I went in, mind you it feels a lot better, but he took my temp. and all hell brok loose. My temp, was 101 (is this normalfor being on AS), he took blood, he is worried about high whitle blood count and possible bacteria in blood. Question for gurus': is temp up when on? is you white blood count up when on? any other symptoms you have experienced while on that went abway when off? Very nervous and want some answers. Ihave to call back in to days to see results of blood culture, if bacteria in blood.
