Hiya Chris... I am taking 7.5mgs pred at the moment, though has gone up to 40 at times when flaring etc... anyway I enjoy a glass or two of wine most nights, though do incorporate a day off here and there, also I drive at every opportunity as I am happy not to drink etc... my Rheumy has said that is fine as long as its not more than a bottle a night!!!!:lol: I haven't noticed any ill effects and my bloods always come back absolutely fine... if I found it caused a problem for me, I would have no problem not having alcohol... it is better to feel well after all, if I go on methotrexate or myophenalate.. I will stop as they seem to have a greater effect on the liver and kidneys. It is very individual and i know lots of people can't drink alcohol with lupus without feeling rough, or doing harm to their body.. obviously bingeing is not good for anyone, so sensible and easy does it. Listen to your body always. Enjoy your night out with or without alcohol... take care.
