New Lupus Medication, going into the New Year!

Today, I can honestly say that I am feeling like a million bucks.....the shots have really helped me!!! I will make sure I get these every three months. I also have been on the new medication (Cellcept) for several weeks now, & have not felt much of a change. I have also started drinking alkaline water "magic water" as they call it in Japan & it is great. Im not the type of person that will just take or do anything that someone suggests, however if I beleive that it is good for my health after some good research, I will try it. I went for blood work yesterday & my rheumatologist called me today & let me know that my blood levels are looking good & to go ahead and start taking 1000mgs of the cellcept which will now be two tablets a day. Im not happy about this, however I will try it, I guess with lupus medication it can be trial & error. I just dont like playing a guessing game. I dont go back for bloodwork for a month & dont have another doctors appointment until February. Im happy about this. Im going to keep eating right, sleeping as best I can, but will be resting much more. I feel that going into the new year, Im not going to let lupus take over even more of my life then it already has. I love me more then lupus & I will continue to "smile everyday"
