Hi all
hope everyone is ok today
I just have a question about myositis if anyone can help it would be much appreciated
I have SLE/MCTD overlap, which includes myositis
i am currently not on any medication (apart from about 2 weeks of prednisolone about a month ago) for my lupus (methotrexate 25mg was stopped at the beginning of december 07 due to problems with white blood cells)
my joint pain is still under pretty good control- however, i have been finding that i am feeling more tired than usual, particularly walking up hills/ stairs etc. and my muscles are starting to feel weaker
i was just wondering if its possible to have a 'flare up' of the myositis without a flare up of the joint pain?
and also- if anyone knows what would be a good medication for the myositis? as i would rather not go back on methotrexate if possible
any help is much appreciated!
take care
