Hi everyone,
Well I got a official dx of Lupus today along with Antiphospholipid Syndrome. My Rheumy doctor spent 2 quality hours with me and it was a good visit. I really love this doctor and I am glad to have found her.
She is starting me on 400mg Plaquenil today along with a baby asprin daily. They took more blood from me and I go back in one month.
The doctor may switch me to Cellcept or Cytoxin in the near future but for now it is Plaquenil for me.
Any steriods I may need will be given by IV because of not having a stomach they can not deliver them orally.
So, after many years of being told I had MS and yet knowing I didn't have it, along comes this Lupus dx.
Mixed feelings of course and now I need to educate myself about this disease. I have not really done that yet because I only wanted to cross that bridge if I came to it......................well here I am crossing that bridge.
I am so happy to have the support of kind people like all of you.
I am tired and a little down right now so I am going to take a nap.
Chat later.:wink2:
