Paula, When I was dx with SLE 11 years ago I was put on Plaq. Took it for 1 year.I did not know enough about Lupus...I thought it just caused great fatique. So, like you, my Rhumy asked how are you feeling? I told him I am still very tired all the time and i did not think the Plaq. was helping. If I could go back and due it all over, I would have given the Plaq. much more time. Maybe, it would have helped to prevent the Lupus from going into my lungs. When I would be given a script, I would read the info. sheet, see the possible side-effects and it would deter me from wanting to take the meds. When I go back to my Rhumy in June, and he asked do you think the Cellcept is working, I am going to ask "you tell me!' What changes should I be seeing? Some of these meds. are scary, but I have learned the hard way, they are necessary. Please take care, Rosie
