Ladybrannon Update: Health And Faq Information Posted: 12-22-03 13:47pm
Hi all! I am once again coming down from
a whopping 120mg of prednisone. I am down
to 40mg...I already am feeling better,
lol! Man, I hate prednisone, you know?
:p
to make things worse, I had another (this
is my sixth) kidney stone attack in 10
years (i started young). Ouch!
I have been very lucky with illnesses thus
far. I did take my flu shot (yeah me!)
and, knock on wood, been good so far.
I hope all of you out there took
yours...It is so important for you *and*
your family members to take it with all
the immunosuppressant drugs that we take.
Remember that if you are on prednisone,
methotrexate, cellcept, cytoxan, etc.
That these are immunosuppressants and you
need to be careful.
Plaquenil is *not* classified as an
immunosuppressant.
Also beware if you are on more than one of
the aforementioned drugs! You get double
or triple whammied!
I am very close to uploading the first of
our faq. I am really interested in some
of you guys reading through it for
me...Content, grammar, etc. Could I get
some volunteers? Pretty please with sugar
on top?
i think the faq is going to be awesome.
It will help new members immensely. It
will also help us to focus specific
questions to specific areas for quick
reference. We can discuss rudimentary
topics and then get more specific as time
passes. If someone wants to help me write
the rest of the basics...Please! and
no, I am not too proud to beg.
Please, please let me know what you all
think. I want to get the first section up
by the end of january...Earlier if I have
help. It will require use of private
e-mails, so keep that in mind. And
remember if you are new to the group *or*
lupus your input is just as
important...What would have helped you in
a faq when you first came to the group.
Don't be shy...Tell me like it is.
Hugs to all,
ladybrannon

Yes, I know english is capitalized.
I
tried editing it three times before
posting it, but the correction just
wouldn't take!

No fear lizbet...This forum does not
handle certain *grammar* things well at
all. I look back through my posts and
cringe. Yet I know that I capitalized the
items when typing.
Thank you so much! I will send you a
private e-mail on this site and give you
my personal e-mail. Then we'll get
started.
Thank you! I think this is going to be
great for this forum!
Hugs!

Hi lady brannon,
i'm just checking to see that you received
my reply. I haven't received anything in
my private e-mail, so I just wanted to
make sure you hadn't sent anything. No
rush.

I don't know what you need for the faq,
but if I can I would like to help. As
you can probably tell, I have some free
time right now. I'm in a flare right now
that does'nt leave me with much energy,
but my lap-top can go with me to bed or to
lay on the couch when i'm not at work.
It sounds as if you have a lot on your
plate right now. Leave me a message when
you get a chance.

Hi lady brannon,
i've assumed that you will wait until
after your move before tackling this
project, but I wanted to let you know that
i'm still willing to help out, too,
whenever you're ready.

should be settled by the first of march.
Everyone that is willing to help...I will
gladly take up their offer! Thanks!
