KatT's Journal

Caroline :  I will definitely bring this up with her in the near future 

Fred :  when I do things, I do them properly   

Forest : I was given prednisone a few times due to lupus flares, also when my face swelled up with Humira.  The problem is I always need more. The initial prescription with tapering off is not enough....they have me tapering off too quickly.   My goal though is to avoid a flare....they are painful    Treat it on the onset (given I don't act like my stubborn self, endure  and wait until it's unbearable resulting in an ER visit),  

I feel the difference between pain from the PSA and pain from the statin medication.  I have a hard time differentiating between PSA pain and lupus.  I know it's the lupus when I start having chest pains only but it can cause soooo much more.  GRRRRRRRR

That being said, it could be worse so I try to keep going
