    • Close Lupus

      I went to Africa for work in November 2006- got 4 immunizations end of October-1 week later my life with Lupus started (didn't know it at the time). Now after being on 15 mgs of prednisone and 100 mgs of cellcept, I managed to get off of everything and am in remission. Had to go back to 2 mgs prednisone after getting pregnant, and still on plaquinol..

      Treatments

      Celebrex Working / Worked
      knocked down pain from "I want to die and can't move" to "this sucks but it's workable". Not on it anymore...
      Cellcept Working / Worked
      I'm not on it anymore (had to go off to get pregnant) but along with the prednisone it really helped to knock down my AB levels. But man it's EXPENSIVE!!!
      Plaquenil Working / Worked
      I think it's working, I haven't had a flare since the first one, so maybe that's part of it?
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      Amazing - reduced pain after 5 hrs. I felt like I was floating (after being crippled for a month). I did manage to get completely off of it, but after I got pregnant I had a bit of swelling in the hands so now I'm on 2 mgs and that seems to be working...
