I feel stupid for not knowing the answer to this, but I can't find any clear cut answers. I don't get sick a lot, but I was wondering if Avonex could possibly change that. The reason I wonder is because I just got diagnosed with a uti last week, finished my antibiotics Tuesday night, and then woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat. I'm guessing that means I caught a cold, but I don't hardly ever leave home to catch a sickness (I really wonder if it's from using a contaminated grocery store pen to sign a credit card receipt since I've been making sure the cart handles have been sanitized).
I'm really thinking all this stuff happening so close together is a total coincidence (I haven't had a cold in over a year, so I was overdue anyway), but I only started on Avonex 2 months ago, so I don't know if it would have any kind of effects on me or not at this point. I do know some MS meds do suppress the immune system. Is Avonex one of them?
