I'm 23 and have been diagnosed with SLE 5 months ago. before the diagnosis it was reallly, really, really bad. I went on plaquenil 5 months ago and seasonique 4 months ago and i don't know if the seasonique had any impact at all on my illness, good or bad. I'm not exactly in remission, but I've been generally well since the plaquenil.
However, i flare up more around my period, which, since I get less of those now, think I am flaring up less due to seasonique reducing the frequency of my periods. But both seasonique and Lupus are so new to me that I don't know for sure. However, my rheumatologist told me to stay on Seasonique if that helps your wife with her decision. She could try it, and if it brings on a flare then she can stop. i would say talk to her rheumatologist and gynecologist both, though. |
