Comments on: New Lupus Drug on the Horizon? http://arimayasheart.com/2009/07/21/new-lupus-drug-on-the-horizon/ my new life as a chronically ill woman just trying to make it through... Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:19:52 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Michelle http://arimayasheart.com/2009/07/21/new-lupus-drug-on-the-horizon/comment-page-1/#comment-688 Michelle Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:44:41 +0000 http://arimayasheart.com/?p=325#comment-688 Katia, I agree! Excellent news for sure. It's always nice to hear some good news for a change :) I see you had left an earlier comment and I didn't respond to it. I'm sorry, I've been really ill these past few months and not very on top of things. I don't want to let this blog go downhill any farther than I have, but some days (weeks, months) it's hard. OK! lol To answer your earlier question I take plaquenil and prednisone. I just stopped taking Imuran because it was making me feel too sick. That's the drug that has knocked me down and kept me there. Before that it was Methotrexate. I didn't take to that one either. I take other meds for small fiber neuropathy which the docs think was brought on by autoimmunity. Weeeeee!! Ha ha! I"m looking forward to the day when I find the right medicinal combo and I can breathe easy. Thanks for stopping by and come back again and visit :) Take care and be well, Michelle Katia,

I'll keep my fingers crossed - it always takes so long for these things to actually be used correctly, I try not to put too much faith in a new drug. One thing I've found that helps me with inflammation is the <a href="http://www.chilitechnology.com/" rel="nofollow">ChiliPad</a> - a mattress pad that lets you cool down (or heat up) your bed, mine lets me set any temperature between 46 and 118 degrees. I think they should have them in every hospital. How hopeful!

Hopefully no one will have to suffer from it any longer soon. It is great to see a potential cure is on the horizon for anyone who suffers from Lupus.
