I have been on an Anti-TNF (Enbrel) for the last ten years or so. Yes there have been times when I have had some infection or other because of it. The worst was when I ended up in hospital on a drip of antibiotic. It was soon sorted with no long term affects.

I suppose it must depend on just how bad your A.S. is. If the A.S. is anything like it was for me then you would be more than glad to take just about anything for a bit of relief. Like all medications it is a case of balancing the risk against the benefit.
