Hi all,
I saw dr. today and because my bloodwork came back "normal" - everything
within limits- we are going to try no Imuran at all.  Mainly, my ANA came
back negative, whereas i've always had a positive.  I can't remember titers,
I just remember it always shows up.

Anyway, she's thinking because of the neg. ANA, possibly the lupus is
backing off, thus the Imuran is not needed to stop inflammation.  Because my
body is not needing the Imuran, it's building up and possibly becoming
toxic.  she's sure I'm going to feel better in 5-7 days.  To tell the truth
I'm scared as hell.  But, being the "I'll try just about anything once"
type, I'm going for it.  I'll still be taking Celebrex 2 x's a day.

I can't ever remember anyone having this type of reaction to Imuran.  It
wouldn't suprise me if this in fact is going on because I've always been out
of sync with the crowd <smile>. I sure hope she's right.  I trust her 100%.
Wish me luck!!

Dawn
