I just had my first shot a few days ago with the preloaded pen. A little nausea was all I can report at least thusfar. My MTX shot is far worse, I'm out for most of a day with that....
Also my signature is old - needs updating. They took away the plaquenil last year, I'm one of the rare ones that after 14 years of having it...it started damaging my eyes. Other drugs are different...
Hi there. I have nearly always been a lurker here. I am hoping that things are still active as I haven't been here in a while. I have Lupus with Serositis. Things have gotten a lot worse so they are...

That's really great! Congrats on your new position....
just wondering Joinery, how did you discover the fatty liver issue?...
I've never been off of it, been taking it for over 2 years. Sounds like it will be a lifelong deal unless there's a cure. I feel very fortunate to not have any symptoms that I can directly attribute...
