I'm not able to take plaquenil for my SLE/ Sjorgrens due to the fact that plaquenil can lower your red and whites cell count.. With my thalassemia I can't have that. My cell count is already low... So are there any other medications for SLE that will help?
I keep getting a fever of 102°to 104° a few days a month can't figure out why.
There are several different treatment options that your rheumy should be able to discuss with you.
I have had good results with cell cept and colchicine. Try making a as needed doc appt when you are sick. Sometimes visual presentation means alot to medical docs that your verbal report doesn't cue.
