I meant to type "or" resign ourselves.

These posts go back all the way to 2003. Everyone has complained about side effects, most of which I have experienced myself. Please . . . if someone . . . anyone has lasted all the way to 2010, and has improved or maybe is side effect free, finally, please post that so the rest of us can either be encouraged of resign ourselves to the fact that we're not going to get better. Thanks.

I am a 24 yo who started 60 mg of prednisone daily about 7 weeks ago for lupus. I had the mood swings with this crazy twitchy feeling for the first two weeks or so, along with the night sweats and having to get up to go to the bathroom around 5 times a night. Then came the really fast heart rate that will not slow down. So not only do I have to take the prednisone, I now have to take a medication to slow my heart rate. I finally got the big face around 2 weeks ago and it feels like it is going to explode! I still have the insomnia but strangely enough I have lost a few pounds even with all the swelling in my ankles, face, neck, and back. I don't have the pain in my joints but I think that is because my knees were already swollen and the prednisone took it down. But reading about everything else has gone though does help :)

I began taking Doxycycline Hyclate for dry eye treatment. I took the first bottle with a little discomfort. I became slightly nauseated when I would take the pill in the morning before work. However, the discomfort would eventually subside and I would be fine. I came up with the bright idea of taking the pill before bedtime to avoid the nausea but was not aware of the caution about taking and lying down. I have now been experiencing the worst pain I have ever had. I feel bloated, my stomach is constantly churning and I can't eat solid foods without experiencing extreme pain. I feel pain as swallow and the extreme pain occurs when the food passes into the stomach. Once the food is in the stomach the extreme pain subsides but there is still discomfort. I suspect that I have esophageal burn and probably some stomach burn from the drug. I have stopped using the drug about a week ago but was curious about when the side effects would subside. I am on day five and it seems that the pain is decreasing but the discomfort continues. I would be interested in hearing of any others experiences. Thanks
