Wow, that is a powerful sentiment, Marcia! Thank you for sharing. I hope you can visit again to fulfill that heartfelt longing of yours.
Thank you for reading it! Yes, I agree it often feels harder when you\'re waiting and wondering what\'s wrong. Knowing the diagnosis isn\'t easy, but if often gives you things to do next. I hope your daughter is doing well.
Thanks! Hope you have a great visit!
Thanks so much for sharing with me, Linda! And welcome to the Carolinas. It is really hard to accept new(ish) health conditions. I\'m grateful to hear that you have good days and I hope your flare resolves soon! Thanks again. :)
I\'m so sorry, Autumn. Those are really concerning symptoms and really disruptive as well. I recently have been dealing with low blood pressure which has been making me dizzy and light headed and it can be very scary. I hope you are able to get answers and feel better soon.
Akon, thanks for the kind feedback. I\'m sorry to hear it\'s such a struggle to be treated by a doctor in Bangladesh. I imagine that can really affect your health, both mental and physical.
In both my pregnancies I was taking Plaquenil and Imuran. In the first pregnancy, my doctors were not adequately informed about the safety of the medications and asked me to stop taking the imuran. It wasn\'t until I met with my maternal fetal doctor that I was able to resume the imuran in my first pregnancy after being advised it was a safe scenario for me. In my second pregnancy, I had to pause taking Imuran because it was becoming toxic to me due to being on a higher dose for a few years, but I did resume it at a lower dose until the end of my pregnancy when I switched over to a biologic medication.
I did not have to stop Plaquenil, those results were within normal ranges. I only paused Imuran and then I stayed on a low dose until switching to a biologic medication. I left a more detailed answer on your other comment.
