Author link to infections

I've been taking Remicaid infusions for over two years - the rheumy has
increased my dosage because I was not responding well (still in bad pain)
and now I keep getting sinus infections. I keep taking different antibiotics
and after a long time (I miss infusions) I finally get better - get my
infusion and then another sinus infection.
It's the most miserable merry go round. Maybe we should either cut back down
on the dose or try something else?
Anyone else have this problem?

There are other DMARDS in the same family that might work better. It is
Enbrel for me.
