    • Close Lupus

      When I was 13 yrs old I was diagnosed with SLE. I got so sick before the doctors caught it I went into a coma for 2 months, I have to take over 20 pills twice a day everyday. I have an enlarged heart with fluid around it and the blood isn't pumping to my body correctly. The doctors don't know how or what to do to fix it. That was the worst day of my life.

      Treatments

      Cellcept Not Working
      I have to try another medicine because this is making me worse.
      Plaquenil Working / Worked
      This is working fine i think....
      Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
      I really don't like taking this but, its not really working but its all the doctors are giving me right now.
    • Close Heart Failure

      Treatments

      Zestril Working / Worked
      Its kind of working right now because that is all they are giving me right now. SO i hope its working.
