Anyone stopping immuno suppressing drug had a flare up?
I am diagnosed with RAintertistial lung disease. I have not had any major joint issues. After a bad reaction to azathoiprine we (Dr. and I) decided to give me a break for a bit before starting a new drug. Within days my hands and wrists swelled and hurt. I couldn’t even close my fingers. Now I wake every morning with redness, swelling, and pain. I am wondering if anyone has experienced a flare up and unexpected, new symptoms after stopping a drug.

@reets70 No there isn't. I think I'm getting over a flare. Hair not falling out in clumps anymore! Having two major auto immune issues is a nightmare. I've always had issues with meds and their fillers. You're "lucky" to be able to take helpful meds and not have side effects. 😊
It was not intentional at all. My doctor's office screwed up and I couldn't get syringes for what ended up being 3 weeks. My doctor ended up giving me a solumedrol injection for this first time ever when I went back to see him.
