My Rheumy Doc put me on prednisone along with plaquenil when I first was diagnosed and that helped me get my rashes under control. I was put on imuran to get my levels under control. She is most likely in a flare and probably very stressed. I was put on mobic to help with the pain that helps me tremendously...

They put me on mobic for pain and it didn't touch it. I have a very high tlerance to pain meds so it sucks cuz not a lot of stuff works. I took tylenol 3s for a while but didnt want to become dependant. lately, I am taking tramadol once a day mainly so I can sleep at night, with a flexeril to relax my muscles. That at least, is getting me through until I see the rheum on Wednessday. Today is the first day where I feel like I don't have to take something for pain. Still not 100% but think I may be on the upswing finally

I do 150 mg of imuran along with prednisone and plaquenil. My doctors added it because my tests weren't great. I don't have any issues with the imuran as far as side effects at the 150 mg level. When I get to 200 mg I get catch every cold, sniffle, and cough around me. I also have been on cell cept for a while when I was in a huge flare. It was fine too although it gave me horrible insomnia. I would stare at the ceiling all night.

I take 200mg of Plaquinel 5 days a week and 400mg Saturday and Sunday
