Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Hello Group, I haven't been posting much this week.....Been feeling pretty puny....nothing serious....just weak, and shaky, and cramping in my legs to the point it was hard to walk....kinda like charlie horses in my calves, and thieghs. I finally went to the doctor tonight, the after -hours clinic at my pcp's office . The doctor on call says he thinks I am low in Pottasium and drew some blood , also to check my thyroid again. I have hypothyrodism....and my pcp just increased the dose of levoxyl in April. The Plaquenil is causing a rash again...so he said , since my Lupus is in remission, there is no need to take Plaquenil anymore, so stop taking it. I won't get the results of the blood tests till Monday.....so for now I'm just drinking lots of tomato juice and gatorade to try to get my potassium up.I have not felt up to reading all the posts.Just deleting most of them. I had 188 this morning......so forgive me for not respoding to most of them. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
