Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hi- here, I was loosing a lot of hair when I was first getting diagnosed. Once I started the plaquenil and the prednisone it stopped. I know how hard it is and scary, but you just have to remember that you have to take care of YOU! If you don't take care of yourself first, there won't be anyone to care for the others. How old are you little ones? Mine are 10,7 and 4--I told them mom was really sick and they helped me quite a bit. I explained that mom's body was trying to " kill itself " like a germ and that it made me hurt all over. Hope some of this helps--make sure also that you aren't suffering from depression--if you are med's can help a lot!!! Keep up with us and let us know how things are going.
