Yes when I was diagnosed with lupus 4 years ago I had nodules on my hands from having RA for 7 years. My rheumy dr put me I plaqunil and cell cept. Things started to get better. I no longer have nodules. I’m only on plaqunil right now. I’m temporary on predisone for a rash and I have gout. Praying you get the right medication. Feel better.

Praying for you

Rhumotolgist will not be until November. I guess with this illness is all about management.
