Guest guest Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Im not sure what esr is. That could be the #74 I just know that I have been going to the Dr. for a very long time. I thought I had gout or something like that. I kept going and they kept giving me medication. My shoulder hurt, My legs sweled, My ankles hurt, My back really got bad, and then my hands and wrist got so bad I couldn't even open a can of pop or pick anything up. So I went to the dr and said I was sick of feeling this way that I was never getting better. That is when he did a full panel of blood test. They came back and said to go to rumitoligist imediatly. that is when she told me my #was 74. I don't have lupus she said and started me on 10mg of the prednisone and 2000mg of salphasaasine. I went to here again just this tues and she changed the prednisone to 7.5 mg one day and 10 the next. I go back to her the end of march for a follow up. Have had blood work done also again and she said it was better. How many meds can a oerson take? I am scared of taking too much. I have both oxy and hydro for pain bult only take the hydro 1 in the morn and 1 at night. I don't sleep well either. cant get comfy. Any way thank you all so much for listening.
