anyway (. I am 22 years old and diagnosed with lupus a year ago, a month before the age of 21 years. Hello, I'm sorry you have been diagnosed recently with lupus, and is only 15 years old = I am currently up to 9 mg of prednisone and CellCept Plaquenil. I know it sucks to take steroids, can cause swelling and weight gain and many other issues. But I know that most side effects disappear over time, I think your body adapts to it or something. Moreover, even his lupus stabilized (or goes into remission), your doctor will probably decrease significantly prednisone, which also contribute to it.
I know I should feel tired and aching joints, but the days when you feel fine, sport is for you. Should Mainly because taking prednisone Loos makes you prone to bone take calcium + D supplements and exercise.
With lupus, and certainly much improved. You know what's important in life. No popularity, no clothes, or a party ... what really mateERS is the family, love and positive attitude to life. Stick, I know its hard. It took about 5 months time to actually get an agreement with my new disease. For now, do go out, healthy eating, exercise, friends, something that you are happy and makes life worth?
Ask your doctor Plaquenil is very effective in preventing further attacks and is generally well tolerated. I do not know if you are taking CellCept, however, because generally people with severe cases of SLE Lupus, but ask your doctor. CellCept Plaquenil and has done wonders for me (I cut my daily dose of 60 mg of prednisone 9mg! - It also goes down the stairs). lol .. Needless to say, I am one of the most serious cases.

My mother had lupus. She died 5 years after its founding. She was 48th I get checked every year, because it runs through our family. Here is a brief summary of what is lupus.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, blood, kidneys and brain. Normally, the body's immune system makes proteins called antibodies that protect the body against viruses, bacteria and other foreign bodies. These foreign materials called antigens.
In an autoimmune disease like lupus, the immune system can not distinguish between foreign substances and its own cells and tissues. The immune system produces antibodies against itself. These antibodies - called "auto-antibodies" (auto means self) - inflammation, pain and damage to various body parts.
There are many "steroid-sparing" or available. "The work very quickly if there is a significant problem. These include Plaquenil and Imuran. Talk to your doctor about the application of these principles, if possible, and the matter to which it (unfortunately, often cause severe side effects, but a life saver sometimes).

Anti-inflammatory drug
For people with joint or chest pain or fever, drugs that reduce inflammation, as are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often used. While some NSAIDs are available without a prescription prescription from a doctor available, it is necessary for others. NSAIDs can be used alone or in combination with other controlled drugs, used to pain, inflammation and fever. Even though some NSAIDs may be purchased without a prescription, it is important to be taken under the supervision of a physician.
