Hi there, I'm new to this site or at least I think I am, I sign up for many and can't always remember or don't have the energy to sit on line...Anywhooooo, I was dx'd with SLE in April of 2004. A severe facial skin rash and swollen glands led me into the ER, where the doc said I had been biten by a spider and to go home. Nice, huh? I knew that wasn't it. I looked into docs myself and luckily I have a great PPO so off I went to see a dermy and a rhuemy. The dermy took a nice chunk sample outta my face by my ear area....and of course all the tests from both docs came back with the lovely dx of SLE. So, as time has passed. the rash has cleared leaving scars and red marks all over my face. I have been on Plaquniel, prednisone and now I just started Methotrexate 3 weeks ago. I am still sooooooooooooo tired ALL THE TIME.
I hate it. I am normally very hyper
and get alot done during the days. I can't seem to do anything lately. My doc pulled me off work until I'm done with the Metho...or at least until I can go back and feel ok doing a "whole 8 hours". Anyways...just wanted to say HI and hope you all are feeling well and to keep your chins up. Lord knows I try to keep all mine up that I've gained through the meds. Thanks for listening to my story
