[b]Hi Everyone. As stated in the subject, I am a lupus patient from way back.......19 years to be exact, almost to the day!! If I can help by sharing my experiences with many, many doctors, diagnosis, misdiagnoses, doctors, pains, joys, etc..., just let me know.
With peace and Hope,

Beth

Beth,

I have been taking Imuran for a little over a year now; it has made a tremendous difference. At times I have felt the need to prove to myself that the meds really do work. My body was angry for weeks. The only side effects I have had from the Imuran has been hair growth on my chin, so get some good tweezers and a high powerer mirror. Also, drink lots of water. It tends to dry you out. You want to keep your skin hydrated. These are small prices to pay to lessen your daily pain. Good luck. Keep me post if you don't mind.

Thank you so much! I have been on plaquinil and prednisone and it is no longer meeting the demand. So, it sounds like this might be a great new step! Thanks again!

Beth

With peace and Hope,

Beth
