Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 Dear Liz, Must be the week for a lot of us to see the doctor. Hope you are able to do well on the plaquenil. My doctor did say today that if I have problems with the metho that increasing the Folic Acid sometimes helps. I have only taken it once and didn't have any nausea, but sure felt rough the next day, tired and aching all over. Glad you got good results on your bone density test. That's reason to celebrate. You must be taking lots of calcium. Gotta take care of our bones. Great you are down to 5 mg of prednisone. I asked my doctor today for a script for 1 mg tablets so I could start coming down on the pred. He suggested to take the full dose one day and a half dose the next. Said it may take lots of time to get off of it, but I plan to keep trying. Just don't want any nasty ole flares. Cooler here today than the 106 we had yesterday. My neighbor across the street decided to light off fire crackers till 2 AM this morning. Wanted to go over and strangle them. I don't think I got 5 minutes of sleep last night then had to leave here at 8 this morning to head for Spokane. Tonight I should sleep like a baby - hope so anyway. Have to get my sleep or the fibro will sneak up on me. Take care. Love, Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
