I have to lose weight these steroids have made me gain 50 ilbs ..I still get face rashes and ulcers and pain but I want off the prednisone ..
I feel the same way. I to have put on 50 pounds due to medication. If you can find away to have more energy or ways to feel better, please let me know
Has anyone taken LEFLUNOMIDE along with taking Hydroxychloroquine? Any side effects?
Per Brian's answer be very careful with a virus going around and being vulnerable to more illness's!!
Has anybody experienced dizziness with imuran, and found it improved with addition of plaquinil? Low tolerance at best of times to mess... I always get the weird side effects! But I'd appreciate insights. Felt plaqunil had aggravated fibromyalgia and joint pain, but off it noticing dizziness I had when first staring imuran last year. May have lost tolerance, or it's just one of those weeks.
I noticed I got my dizzy after starting Imuran. I have been on it all summer.
Anyone had issues with immunosuppressive meds causing squamous cell carcinoma? Taking Imuran for lupus nephritis. Docs continue to insist on immuran.
Yes, I was on immigrant for 5 years, best I ever felt until I was diagnosed with pockets of skin cancer and had to have a bone marrow test for lukemia
Was taken off immuran and placed on cellcept
Has anyone been prescribed CellCept? Good or Bad? What symptoms did you have?
I have been on Cellcept for 10 yrs. So far so good! It helps keep things quiet for my kidneys.
I have lupus and recurring pericardias. It has definitely changed my life. I don’t feel like the same person. Now with hair loss I’m totally depressed. Would love to hear about your experience with hair loss and if it has grown back.
Thank you so much for replying. You have great suggestions! I appreciate it very much😊
My daughter has lupus too, she's 28 and is almost 8 months pregnant. Very high risk with her lupus, she's on imuran and lovonox for blood clots. It's been stressful but we are almost there. 🙏
I've unfortunately missed 4 doses of my imuran. Is there anything I should be worried about? Or is there anything I should know?
Thank you. It's my own fault just didn't get the chance to get more before I ran out.
Its worked pretty well for me but I had to decrease my dose in case it was what was causing my anemia.
