hi there,
i just came back from my rheumy's appointment. he confirmed that the lupus has damaged a bit my kidneys and planned a biopsy. In the meantime he told me to take on emore pill of plaquenil per day and added 16 mg of steroids. he siad it is not a high dose but i would like to know what the side effects are also with this dosage. i know it sounds stupid if i ask....but will i gain weight or have a swollen face even if i don't take a high dosage??
I hope this medication will finally kick in but i'm a bit confused anyway....my doc doesn't speak much
thanks and take care
