Plaquenil (
RSS)
I've made it to the final finish line in the birthing process - six weeks post delivery. For the first 2 weeks home, I had the no heavy lifting, no driving, and no more than once up and down the stairs a day rules. Add the no bath, swimming, or exercise...
Nine weeks and counting... I had my latest appointment with my high risk group this afternoon - everything still looks great. The heart is ticking away like it should, and all the measurements show that baby and placenta are growing. My week-by-week book...
Well, it's been over a week since I put myself back on the every day dosage of Plaquenil...and now I'm not exhausted by mid-afternoon like I was before, but I'm out like a light before 930pm. I've fallen asleep on the couch with my husband working right...
I saw my rheumatologist on Friday for another check-up. She hadn't received my bloodwork results yet...from what I understand the several thousand dollars worth of blood work I have done quarterly actually produces a packet of results about an inch thick...
Yup, it's there. Somewhere my normally functioning brain is taking a vacation. I missed my OB appointment this week. Not because I was busy, but just because I forgot about it until tonight...only to realize it was Monday morning. And what was I doing...
Since I've had a nice sore throat since Thursday and I have started to experience some congestion, I decided last night that rather than lay on the couch...where I'd probably just fall asleep...I'd go up and get into bed. This was at about 9:15pm. Although...
Getting into the shower yesterday morning I noticed something I hadn't before...the tops of my feet are so dry that they've got scales. Cream to the rescue. I was pretty shocked getting out of the shower that I was that dry. I know my hands look like...
I am beginning to think that all of those years "missing" out on the common cold have caught up with me. It all began just after Thanksgiving when my husband came down with a cold...then my son...then me. We worked through it (with my hard working husband...
I kind of had the type of day on Monday. Last week following my appointment with my primary OB practice, I realized there were a few things I needed to talk with one of their receptionist about. The first one being that my bi-weekly appointments with...
I broke down and called my rheumatologist this afternoon and left a message inquiring whether Plaquenil could be making me more tired than I was before taking it. Seems counterintuitive, but anything's possible, right? I did look around online for other...
A few people have asked me if I've noticed a difference after being on 200mg/day of Plaquenil after 2 weeks. Well, if feeling MORE tired is a difference, yeah. Not sure if it's at all possible for fatigue to be a side effect of the medication, as it was...
Although I'm not there gestationally, this is where I am from a LMP standpoint. Had another visit with my primary practice this morning, after waiting about 30 minutes for the doctor, the visit was all of 2 minutes. The baby's heartbeat is right around...
Yesterday morning we headed into the hospital to have my first trimester screening. We didn't do this for our son, so the process was a bit new for us. We spent the first 30 minutes in a room with the ultrasound technician trying to get the baby to flip...
Well, officially by charting my cycle I'm officially at week 12 as of my appointment yesterday. However, knowing I ovulated late, I would think that I'm probably not measuring 12 weeks. It's at 12 weeks that I should be able to start my medication, however...
I've started to notice over the past few days that the morning sickness is definitely getting better. Not so much from mid afternoon until dinnertime, but I do have some after dinner. I'm eating though, and probably making up for lost time. However, as...
