Guest guest Posted December 8, 2001 Report Share Posted December 8, 2001 BJ So glad you found us! This group is the greatest that is for sure. They have helped me get through a lot in the last. Please post us and tell us all about yourself! I live in Oregon and have had RP for over 7 years. I was/am pretty lucky. My RP is in the semi sleeping mode with the Imuran that I take. I am able to lead a fairly normal life...well as normal can be for me!LOL I have two grown children and am raising my 6 year old granddaughter who thinks she is 21. I work a 40 a week job and still am able to enjoy life as much as I possibly can. I take Imuran, Pred only when needed, Multi Vitamins, 1500 mg of Calcium and High Blood Pressure meds(due to the pred). Actually the only think that I take for the RP is the Imuran right now. Imuran is the reason that I take the vitamins and calcium. It seems you trade one for the other. I will gladly keep these meds if it means that the flares are like they are now and not what they used to be. When I was first diagnosed I was on sick person. I think it is harder to feel awful and not know why and the Dr.'s looking at you like you must be nuts. Once they diagnosed the RP and started treating it aggressively I got to feeling like a human again. Take care and post when you can. We are here for you!Lots of LoveGlenda Yesterday is History....Tomorrow is a Mystery...Today is a Gift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
