Possible Flare!!! Yikes!!!

[pberggren1]

I told my boss that I will work this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night but that I will probably be going up to Saskatoon to see my Rheumy about a possible flare. I told him that if I am for sure flaring that I will not be able to work any more, I will need to take it easy for a year or so.

I suspect that my Rheumy will put me back on Cyclophosphamide again if I am flaring. Not looking forward to it, but it has to be done.

Hope you get on OK with the rheumy. Don't assume cyclophosphamide just yet, you might get away with increasing your current meds or a switch to azathioprine.

Good point Jack. I have to keep poisitve.

Thanks

Phil, my thoughts are with you that it is just a blip and you are going to be fine. Wishing you positive thoughts and best results. Maybe mtx will do the trick instead of cyclo.

Looking forward for you going to your appointment. What will be will be regarding medicines. Stay positive and baby steps. You will get there ( remission).

Thanks guys

I think the pred is kicking in. I decided to double up on the pred and go to 100mg. What do you guys think? Or maybe even triple until I talk to my Rheumy on Monday.
