Hi Yall'
My name Is Lindsey and Im from Texas. I was diagnosed with Still's disease in 2004 after a very long and hard fought battle. Im sure we all have the stories of the first time we heard our d-i-a-g-n-o-s-i-s because it spelled r-e-l-e-i-f ... I do not have just Stills disease (RA + SLE) of course, we all know that once you have one, they just seem to multiply. I have been struggling with an elevated liver enzyme for probably about 6 monthes or so. I never have had this issue before, My Rheum. Called earlier this evening and told me to cut off all tylenol and IB profen... I dont even really take that often, but when I do I need it. I prefer IB Profen because Tylenol does nothing for my swelling obviously. We discused other options for pain but thats not my main concern. Im a pretty tough cookie. My issue is the fatigue. I know this is an issue with all of my "issues" anyways, but I was curious to know if an elevated liver enzyme could make you even tirder? < --- Dont think thats a word. I graduate in a few weeks with my degree in Social Work so I know I have been hitting the pavement hard, but Im not usually one for naps and I am having a real problem with feeling lethargic in the afternoons. Any advice would be great!
I take Humira 40 mg Every Other Week for about 6 years now, never caused a problem before.
Also cymbalta, valum, thats pretty much it at the moment. The valium has been used for quite awhile no problems, and the cymbalta also. Nothing new?
Thanks
Lindsey
