My body is sore and when I sit down for a long time it takes a while for me to get up.I was put on Cellcept about two months ago and taken off of Predisone and Azathioprine (Imuran). I also take Plaquinel (Hydroxychloroquine) and Norvasc (Amlodipine Besylate). The doctor says Cellcept takes a while to get used to but I think it has been long enough.

Thank you. I found out it was from the blood pressure medication I'm taking Norvasc so they gave me a diuretic and waiting to see what other BP medicine I can take because I'm allergic to Lisinopril.

I called my rheumatologist because all of a sudden my legs and ankles started to swell up. So he ordered blood work and according to him my tests say that everything is better and that the swelling is not lupus related and to see my primary care doctor so I'm not sure what's going on at this point.
