Lupus Support Group
Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.
Is anyone on Imuran?I know Sindybee is having some problems that in reading about it sound like something to talk to the dr. about,I have just been on it for 3 weeks and I feel really strange,a little nauseated but really floatie I guess is the best way to describe it,not really dizzy just not connected to my body,these are not side effects listed so I don't know if this is connected to the medication or not,maybe it is just another strange Lupus thing,I will call the dr. in the a.m. I am just affraid of him taking me off yet another medication but I also do not want to feel like this,or will it go away on its own,sorry for the rambeling but I can't really get my thoughts together,Cindy
I have been on Imuran for about 4 months now. I haven't noticed any side efffects from it. I would be calling your doc about it. Maybe Imuran or maybe something else but it should be checked out. Take care and thinking of you.

They are constantly changing my meds in an effort to get me off of prednisone. I have had reactions to many different meds including plaquenil. I am on cellcept now and I feel better most days. Sometimes I can be on a med for quite some time and then it just quits working so they have to try something different. I guess since lupus changes so should the meds. Be patient with yourself and realize that we are all different so it may take some time to get the right combination of meds that work for you.
I was thinking how easy it is to say "try not to be discouraged" I'm feeling discouraged my self today, and it's not so easy to try not to be. I've been over doing it and cough a bit of sun last week so I suppose meds can only do so much and we have to help ourselves also.
Sorry I seem to also be rambling
