Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 About energy levels, I am pretty sure my relative lack of energy is due to the rp, not the meds. I was ill for quite a long time before rp was diagnosed (during which time I have since found out, a lot of my friends thought I was not long for this world!) anyway I had NO energy, I felt tired all the time. Mind you, I was having breathing problems all the time! However since I have been on methotrexate I have felt SO much better. Imuran I found did make me tired. Since I added plaquenil to the metho/pred mix I can stay pretty well all week. Metho by itself seems to run out a couple of days before the day I take the next dose. High doses of pred do give you higher levels of energy so when you drop down your body takes time to adjust. It does take quite a time to get the meds right, I think and because we are different there is no exact combination. Actually, I feel really blessed that approaching 60 I feel 100 percent better than when approaching 50!!! Love to all, Liz __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
