Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Hi , Boy ......you just can't get catch a break, Can you. !!.....I've read that Lupus is usually harder on men than women.....you seem to be trying to prove the statistics right..... I believe that Azathioprine is the generic name for Imuran.........Hang in there Guy..... C. Major Flare Hi all,I'm finally at the end of my most major flare to date. I've never had one quite this bad. High fever, muscle cramping so bad I could barely breathe, walk, etc...for days. I'm sure you all know the drill. Called my wonderful Rheumy at home over the weekend and he took me off Methotrexate and started me on the 13 day steroid cycle to get me out of this one.He's starting me on Azathioprine. Anyone know what that is? I'm assuming it's like Plaquenil since he said I'll have to take it for a while to feel any difference.I'm going to go back to work tomorrow. Woke up today with no fever, but know I need to rest today. Haven't eaten a real meal for 4 days, so I'm weak too. It's all so fun isn't it?This one really scared me. I think it hit home that someday I might not be able to work...and what would that mean? The question is still rolling around in my mind, but I don't think I'm ready to start addressing it yet. Too much fear in the way.I must go try and eat something.Thanks for listening."The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"
