Can I pass onto my partner any sexual diseases?
I am taking prednisone, imuran and losec, can any of these medications cause
sores in the mouth (tongue)?

Just a little update.  I am now done the pres. no more steriods woo hoo.  and I am on nothing else at the momment.  Been getting some kinda bad heartburn lately I think it was from getting so sick last week my is not happy about all that throwing up.  I am going to start the 6mp next week.  But I have been doing okay on nothihng and its just great to not be popping so many pills.  got my bloods done on wed and havent heard anything about them being high or anything.  I am going to start the maintance therapy only cuz 25% you wont replase arent the best odds.

When you getting the water off your body from the steriods. has anyone else experenced alot of diaerra. I cant spell sorry everyone.  I dont keep my bloods.  I notice you all know your levels.. is this something I should ask my doctor about??? do you guys get copies or something???

Keep positive ladies :-) wish my luck next week on the 6MP .

iloveigs: Great news girl way to go. You must be sooooo happy.
This is just great. So are you going down on the pred. let us know.
Kim: you should be having your labs soon. Let us know the results.
Well I am still feeling nauseas. I had my excersice and trampoline yesterday and the entire 1.5 hour I felt like vomiting. I didn't stop I will not let this disease beat me. I must over come it. I really don't want to go back on prednisone.
People are finally telling me that my face is not so round any more. The moon face is finally starting to deflate.
Well the weather here is really nice now. 18-20 degrees celcius during the day and around 6-9 degress during the nights. Sorry I have no idea what this is in farinhights.
Last week however we did have snow which doesn't happen very much in Israel so we took the kid for a few hours. That was enough for me. I come from Winnipeg Manitoba and the winters there are freezing, so I definatly don't miss the snow.
Well ladies take care and keep up with the great work.

Let us know how your labs go.  You are taking the exact pills that I do.  Calcium w/Vitamin D and a multivitamin.  Do look for the book.  It has a lot of information.  Of course, I've talked to my liver Dr. about it, and he doesn't seem to buy in to much of it, but he is clearly all about the meds, and not what food, Prayer/Meditation and Exercise can do for you.  So I do everything medically he tells me to do, and I do the rest on my own.....I really do follow a lot of the books advice....Clearly not all, since you guys know I love my junk food...
Take Care All.....

Hi guys

I need to look for that book too! I hope you are feeling better Sarad...I haven't had to deal w/ nausea personally, but I can imagine it is awful.

I also take a pill w/ calcium and vitamin D, and I also take a multivitamin separately...I'm sure it's probably overkill, but I figure it can't hurt.

I have my next labs tomorrow! I'm quite nervous...I'm afraid my AST will still be creeping up...it was 54 last time. I will ask about upping the Imuran if it has increased at all, that is, if they'll let me drop to 10mg pred tomorrow....crossing my fingers!!!
