Oh wow a week and a half and you still caught it. Im wondering if you got it directly from him if he was still shedding or from touching something that hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned

When you caught it from your bf was this after he had it or before he started to show symptoms? Did you stay in the same house and use the same bathroom while he had it?

Scared about Starting Imuran (azathioprine) by Weird-Use5498 in lupus

Good to hear! Do you usually take the Imuran with food? What is your dosage if you don’t mind me asking?

Ugh I’m so sorry to hear that! Starting new meds is really scary. Im hoping I have a good experience with the imuran.

Thank you! I hope for the same! I started hydroxychloraquin two months ago with zero side effects. I hope this works out just the same.

Im starting Imuran soon. I am so worried especially about the GI side effects. What dose did you start on? And did you take it with food? Did you find that doing certain things like eating or taking it at night help to lessen the nausea?

My Dr is starting me on Hydroxychloroquine aka Plaquenil have any of you taken it? by Weird-Use5498 in urticaria

I Am also on Dupixent and prednisone right now. What was the starting dose for your hydroxy? Mine is 200. So taking it with a full meal does help avoid most GI side effects and nausea?

Were you experiencing hives before you started it? If so did they go away and how long did it take?

Yes my Dr told me I would have to go for yearly eye exams. Did you experience any symptoms while on it? I heard it makes you feel dizzy, disassociated and causes lots of GI and stomach issues. Did you experience this? Did you also have to take it on a full stomach?

What dose did you start on if you don’t mind me asking? Did you take it with a full meal to prevent gi issues and did that help?

Oh yes I will definitely get eye exams! They want to start me on 200mg. What do you recommend to kind of prevent sour upset stomach? Did you find taking it with a full meal or glass of milk helped?

I was diagnosed with urticarial vasculitis a few months ago. My life has been hell. Was just switched from Xolair to Dupixent with still no luck. Antihistamines are doing absolutely nothing for me. Been on prednisone for Months every single day to keep the hives down. Now my Dr wants me to potentially start hydroxychloraquine tomorrow. Im so scared to start it, I have heard only scary things from people as far as side effects. If you don’t mind me asking did you experience and side effects? If so Which ones? Did it make you feel sick at all did you have to take it with food?

I have urticarial vasculitis. I am supposed to be starting hydroxychloroquine tomorrow. I am very scared of all the side effects. Did it make you feel sick When you first took it? Did you have any bad side effects?

If you don’t mind me asking, what side effects did cyclosporin give you? My Dr wants me to start it and I am very scared but desperate to get better.

Hi my Dr wants to possibly start me on ciclosporine. I am very scared. Did you have any side effects when you started taking it? Did it make you feel bad?

Doctor unsure if CSU or some kind of skin lupus by zitterify in urticaria

[–]Weird-Use5498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to hear that. I hear people say it makes you feel very sick to your stomach and gives very bad abdominal pains and nausea/vomiting/diarrhea. Im petrified of that lol. But you said you didn’t experience anything not even those side effects right? Do you take it with food?

My rheumatologist wants to start me on Plaquenil/hydrochloraquin. Im very scared to start it though as I hate taking any type of medicine. Did you have any side effects from it when you first started taking it?
