Hi, I'm ok thanks. Plodding on around the house as best as possible!

I can understand why they don't want you to start azathioprine until CV-19 is over.

Top tip when you take the first couple of doses....take it after food at night and go to bed. When I was on it the first 4 doses gave me a bad head and made me feel a bit sick. Someone on here told me to take the first couple of doses at night and sleep through the headache and nausea. It was a very good tip. I only had side effects for 4 days and then they went.

Just thought I'd share.

Hope you have a good day.

Who cares if someone gets annoyed. Wine if you feel like wining 😉. Who doesn't like it can move to the next post. Covid isolation for me feels like any other day.

Hi Jade. Good to hear from you - you never whine!

It's my daughter's birthday today too (but she's a bit older than 12y!!) and I don't know where the years have gone, either. It was awful to not be able to give her a birthday hug, but I sang (I use the term loosely) 'happy birthday' to her from the front step. Don't pay any heed to embarrassment these days...

I hope the Azathioprine helps you, when you eventually get to take it.

Take care and stay safe. xxx

Hi Jade, good to hear from you. Hope you're feeling a bit better since your last post?

I'm ok - have been better, have been worse, if you know what I mean. Feel a bit in limbo-land medically, as it's almost impossible to contact a rheumy or other Drs during CV-19.

Take care and stay safe, xxxx

Hey Jade. So nice to hear from you and happy birthday to your daughter. Hope you're all doing ok? Might be joining you on the Aza too once this coronavirus stuff calms down! Who knows how long we'll have to wait tho. But that's something we're used to by now I guess. X

Hey sorry for the late reply I didn’t get a notification I don’t think ! How are you xxx

Hey Jade. No worries. Yeah I'm ok, recovering from a bout of pericarditits. Taken ages but it's finally getting better after a course of steroids I think. Had to do two nights in hospital in midst of coronavirus! Was terrified to touch anything but made it out ok 🙂 Tons of bloods taken while I was there. Nothing showed as usual. Same ole story, you know how it is! How are you keeping? x

Buckley123 in reply toSalzer

Bless you !

I had something similar when I was younger but they said it was pleurisy

Have you been looked into for sarcoidosis? Xxx

Salzer profile image
Salzer in reply toBuckley123

Never even heard of it! Will have to Google it 😂 Cardiologist said pericarditits can be viral or maybe autoimmune but she didn't know that I had a UCTD diagnosis when she was talking to me. I heard them talking about it outside my door after she left! I'll have to see what they say at my next rheumatology appointment. Hope you are doing ok yourself?

I really hope the azathioprine helps! I am also (impatiently) waiting to start it too... Ironically I was supposed to start taking it the day that lockdown began 🙈.

I just want to start feeling better, I’m sure you feel the same - I’ve seen how much you’ve been struggling from your previous posts. Hope you’re coping as best you can given the circumstances. Stay safe xx
