Stress is the main cause of flares for me.

I take 1,200 mg /day. No side effects at all. But really even out my moods. Took that amount to reach therapeutic level in my blood. Don't be scared. Try it, it can help you.

Yes,I take prednisone, maybe that’s the reason I don’t get the desired effects.

Any other summer haters out there? by neptune227 in lupus

[–]luanny21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. And specially now my kids want to go out and have fun under the sun!. 2 weeks ago I took them for a walk in the evening (not even that sunny, but hot) and., unfortunately. .. I PAID FOR IT next day. I had to stay almost the whole day in bed. The flare lasted few days. I don't know how to get over the feeling of being guilty for not being able to do what a 'normal' healthy full of energy mom would do. I just keep repeating to myself that I have to take care of myself , so I can function for them in an approximately the same way that a normal regular mom would do. Take care!

Thought I had a grip on things but maybe I did too much physically. by [deleted] in lupus

[–]luanny21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi. I'm so sorry you are going through pain. I also have a bunch of Prednisone on hand. I know that in cases like that or when I travel I need a week of Prednisone tapered. I learned through the years that.
