    • Close Lupus

      i was diagnosed in october of 2005. 3 months later i had a brain clot which put me in a coma for 2 days. when i came to i was on dialysis. i've had seizures (last one in sept), heart blocks and ulcers. i've been in and out of hospital with fevers, each time being attributed to the lupus. the longest i've gone without a flare or any problem is 3 months. i've found this site hoping to share with others the pain. God Bless you all!

      Treatments

      Azathioprine Somewhat Helpful
      was on this for almost a yr but am now off it. docs think it partly caused my hemolyzing anemia.
      Cellcept Working / Worked
      took for 3 months
      Cyclophosphamide Working / Worked
      had 6 cycles every 2 wks. finished in december.
      Plaquenil Working / Worked
      taking 200mg twice a day, no longer on it. been off for almost 6 months now
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      took from initial diagnosis for 1 yr. just recently restarted. on a reducing dose until may.
      Rituxan Working / Worked
      had 2 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart. still too early to tell if it is effective, i only finished the 2nd treatment last week.
    • Close Dialysis
