I have mild lupus and having a flare up this evening with a lot of pain, butterfly rash etc. I took a 5mg of Prednisone to try and help with this inflammation and now I am wondering if I should skip my evening dose of Celebrex? (I need to talk to my Rheumatologist about this when I next see him, but for this evening, I wonder what to do. Thank you for your consideration.
You should consider taking antimalarial agents like Plaquenil(HY Chat Doctor.  Try to avoid sunlight exposure and every time use sunlight cream protector with high SPF 30-50. You should consider also taking 2-3 prednisone till the situation is stabilized than lowering the dose to 5 mg in the morning.
