SLE, Anguish Joints, Sores On Fingers. Taking Myfortic. Side Effects Of Lupus?
I have SLE and am currently on myfortic which has been significantly helping. I started taking micronor 2 weeks ago and for the last few days I feel like I'm going into a lupus flare. My joints are in anguish and I've started developing sores on my fingers like when I first got sick with SLE. Should I stop taking micronor?

Although it is not proven if you are facing worsening of symptoms it is better to discontinue the medication,and take other drugs to help control your symptoms.
earlier studies did show a correlation between the two it was not proven. If you can avoid micronor it will be better.
For the pains you may need to take hydroxychloroquine and may be steroids for some time.there is no way to confirm whether the drug is causing the flare or not.
