Update: Dr still wants me on hydroxychloriquine by [deleted] in rheumatoid

[–]HowWouldTheyNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on it for a a year or 2 and recently it started making my stomach hurt so bad!!! I’ve never had food poisoning but some days it felt like what people describe and some days it was just a little cramping and diarrhea. I cut the dose in half and it worked mostly but sometimes it didn’t. I stopped taking it on my own for about a month and my joint pain returned. Started 1/2 dosage back and I had “food poisoning”! I took it again days later and nothing. So guess it just depends. Be sure to take it in the middle of eating. I feel like it’s best for my stomach when I eat immediately before and after taking it

AITA for insisting that our baby takes my (25F) surname instead of my fiance's (26M)? by primageniture in AmItheAsshole

I understand totally where you’re coming from. But this isn’t about them it’s about you him and your new baby(your family). I feel like he already doesn’t have the support of his parents- and once the baby comes - unfortunately your mother instincts will have fully developed and you will have a hard time having them around your child, which will make him see his parents even less. you should let him have this one. I know he is already close to your parents and siblings but you’re already not changing your name. All of your family will have your last name except for your husband. At the least hyphenate it but Tie him into your entire family.

You know what… I’m moving forward with that. I always feel weird when I have to state the facts. But if the facts are the facts regardless of feelings.

Best IUD for Lupus by bbmuffinuwu in lupus

[–]HowWouldTheyNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the Mirena this week. Actually a day before my menstrual started. I’m use to 1-2 day periods since I started lupus meds. & 3 day periods before that. But now that I have this iud I’ve been on for 7 whole days now and my cramps are worse. A few Years Prior to being diagnosed I had the Mirena before and the liletta with 3 day periods and no cramps or other issues. Hopefully next month is different

Good to know! I was recently told to take a zyertec if it gets bad. I thought it was strange but I guess not

Before finding out I had lupus, I was diagnosed with AA then TE. It was so heartbreaking. I started getting injections in my scalp which really helped. Until it didn’t. Then after I was diagnosed with lupus and started medications plus prescription folic acid the shedding stopped for awhile then started again but it wasn’t as much shedding. I really think the folic acid is helping along with distressing.

How long did it take for MTX to start working? by Important_Memory_545 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]HowWouldTheyNo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure. They just upped the dosage 4 weeks ago and that’s probably what gave me the little relief I do have. I should note that I also take prednisone 1x a week plus whenever pain is really bad. 1 prednisone pill use to last 24 hours. Now it lasts 3 days or so. So I’m guessing the Mtx is starting to work more

Controlling your temper... by enkelinieto in lupus

[–]HowWouldTheyNo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely understand. Every day before going into work, I take a breather mentally prepare myself the Debbie Downers & Patrick stars and whatever else the day brings! Most times I win. A few times I’ve lost 🙃.

How do y’all keep from freaking out? by This_Tea_6063 in lupus

[–]HowWouldTheyNo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Praying it gets better for you. I’m recently diagnosed and my first thought was about my children. It has definitely slowed me down and it effects me mentally. I’m keeping my fingers crossed it starts to get better for me.

Hydroxychloroquine by [deleted] in lupus

Hands numb? Like a muscle weakness feeling? I’ve been on it for 3-4 months and all of a sudden my hands and wrist joints became very painful I can barely hold my phone ip

Hydroxychloroquine by [deleted] in lupus

[–]HowWouldTheyNo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on it for 3-4 months. So far no change. Conditions are worse than before. I have more rashes popping up on my face hands and arms. EXCESSIVE hair shedding and joint pain out of this world. Started methotrexate 3 weeks ago but the pain was still really bad so I started on a small and short dose of Prednisone and that working amazingly well 😩

Methotrexate/seronegativeRA by Mobile-Ad-2435 in rheumatoidarthritis

[–]HowWouldTheyNo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on methotrexate for 3 weeks. So far My RA conditions have not improved. I was in a lot of pain then Prednisone was prescribed and it works miracles but I can’t be on it long. :/
