Guest guest Posted September 9, 2001 Report Share Posted September 9, 2001 Hi Group! As several of you know, I started in a flare the day of the picnic. The past week has been miserable, as all of you that have RP can imagine. Finally went to my Rheumy last Friday. She gave me an injection of 80 mg. Prednisone. She took me off of Dapsone and put me on Imuran. She gave me Ultram for the pain, and did several lab tests. I felt a little better Saturday, but then today am really hurting again. However, she did tell me not to expect much in the way of results for at least 3 months. I really hope the Imuran works better than the Dapsone. My flares had gotten more frequent and lasted much longer. I am fatigued ALL the time, but hopefully that will get better. I take Pepcid AC, but Ms. Heidi has informed me that she will pester me until I go to my PCP and get on a better stomach protector. I KNOW why Don doesn't have flares. That RP is afraid of having to deal with our Heidi. LOL Just thought I'd update you on my appt. If you remember, my rheumy is the one that refuses to believe I'm in a flare if my ears aren't flaming red. Well, she took one look this time and knew I was having trouble. (Of course, my ears WERE very much red....still are.) Again, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the Okie weekend with all of you. Believe me, Oklahoma just isn't the same since you left. Love you, T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
