Guest guest Posted March 5, 2001 Report Share Posted March 5, 2001 I just talked to LU and she is very sick. It sounds like she has pneumonia. Of course she hasn't called the dr yet. I yelled at her and hopefully she will get some medication. She could only talk a minute, she couldn't stop coughing. She said to tell everyone Hi and she is on no mail for awhile. Please keep her in your prayers. she is on Imuran, does anyone know if she should stop it while she is sick?? I told her to ask her dr. I thought I read that these medications should be stopped when you get sick and then started when you are better. Did I just dream this??

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2001 Report Share Posted March 6, 2001 Heippa! I don´t remember how it was with Imuran for years ago, but I have stopped taking at least methotrexate, ciclosporin and CellCept when getting pneumonia. I´ve got it almost 10 times.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Arto, have you ever had a pneumonia vaccination? I get one al least every 10 years, and I haven't had pneumonia in years, which is great since I used to get it at least twice a year and I don't miss it. Check with your Dr and see if you can get one? LOL, Judy O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
