Thumbs up Hey kathy!

Hey girl! How are you doing today? Are you still feeing great? I am so happy for you!!!!

I'm sure Missy knows the formula for Imuran - she is really, really smart and has gone through lots of crap.....hopefully either she or Maurice will answer soon..........

Last night was rough (cried for hours) but today has been better...........

I've just got to get out of my house more - don't want to become a crazy shut-in!!!!!!

I'm gonna try and get some work done today and quit feeling sorry for myself...........

Take care!
Erin

I weigh a bit more than you and am at 150mg. I'm sure it's fine and the doctor's know best, i would just hate for anything else to happen. I'll be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way! Take care!

About Imuran dosage:
The last reference I posted in the subject :"Usefull sites for Myasthenia Gravis"
mentions for Imuran initial daily dosage: 2.5 mg to 3 mg/kg and for maintenance dose: 1.5 to 2.5 mg/kg…
Maurice.

Thanks neutro! It's helpful to know for future reference. I guess my neuro gave me a bit of a low dose to start to see if I'm okay with everything.

Erin,
I'm still great - I could feel the after effects of swimming today though... I've got a sore back, but it's a good sore, just feels like I've really worked something! I go again tomorrow and am really looking forward to it. I'll look like a drowned rat for the rest of the day.

I really feel for you! I know you'll get through this little hiccup and feel good in no time. Enjoy your Texas sunshine a little bit. Maybe have a cup of tea outside - I always find that makes me feel better (as long as it's not ridiculously cold and drizzly like the weather has been like here)! Take care of yourself - enjoy some "you time" to get your head on straight!

Talk to you soon,
~Kathy
