I am in the midst of a most server flareup of lupus myositis and can hardly get out of bed or raise my arms. Don t know what to do short of hospitalization. I m very stubborned and look at that as a last resort. Guidance please. Should rest turn this around? I m on 90 mg of prednisone currently.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Except of prednisone you should take an immunosuppressant agent, like Methotrexate, as subcutaneous prefilled syringe or intramuscular, or oral tablets to improve your symptoms and slow disease activity!
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilektra Xhafa(Kacareli)
