- So I've noticed my tiny patch of faint freckles under one eye has turned into a raccoon brown speckled mess under both eyes. I googled and read Plaquenil can cause these brown sun spots. Anyone with info on this, or does anyone have knowledge as to...
- Have any of you thought this? Is this really it? Seriously? Surely it's another rare fluke. A mosquito bite from last summer perhaps. All the damn chiggers in my yard caused it.No. Be honest. I remember lying in bed, crying. Crying and crying night...
- I'm on arava, 5 pills Saturday's, plaquenil 2 pills daily. I've thought my treatment wasn't helping as much as it should, one script pain pill needed twice daily BUT that pill HELPED to where my pain was almost totally gone with it. Um, since...
- So I inquired a while back on my choking on saliva, sometimes my food doesn't swallow but stops, and I need a drink to finish swallowing. Now. Now I go slightly hoarse about three times a day for the last 4-5 days. I talk a lot during the day, and...
- I don't think my treatment is working as well as it should. My next step is a biologic. She mentioned starting humira or enbrel first. I have spent hours researching my RA trigger, my injury in my wrist, and seeing what happens with injury...the...
- Can medication treatment cause your RA test numbers to be normal, or should I say negative? I had only experienced RA for 3 weeks before I got all my tests done, and they were negative. She said it's common early in the disease. Eventually my...
- When I flare, before I got into a pain management doctor, I would have to take 4 Tylenol and 4 Advil with bfast, lunch, and dinner, 24 pills a day literally to just make it. After 3-4 days or so I would get these weird symptoms.Upper back muscle...
- I know prednisone redistributes fat to the buffalo hump as I've seen it called, stomach, and face. It increases appetite and so many eat more and experience weight gain.I've changed my diet dramatically, counting calories and such. I'm eating much...
- I've been chronicling my disease progression with pictures ever since my injury and first flare last August and September. My hands look fairly normal to the outsider, but from my first flare to the recent pics I see something different. My middle...
- Do you those that have been on a dmard or biologic for at least 6 months still have swelling or pain, or maybe that red splotchy skin over the knuckles? If yes, does that mean damage is occurring? I heard no pain still can have damage, so pain on...
- I understand many people with RA can't find that trigger that pushed them over the cliff, but some can.My symptoms were just under the surface all of 2013; enough to raise an eyebrow, yet not enough to think I had RA.I had a terrible wrist injury...
- I think I *may* have raynauds. I've never ever had this before, and the only new thing I have in my life is RA.MY HANDS ARE FREEZING ALL THE TIME.So cold my kids cringe when I touch them. So cold it almost starts to hurt. I am wearing my fingertip...
- Ok, I feel crazy and silly saying this, but it keeps happening lately. Like past few weeks lately.I choke on saliva. I go to talk, and choke half go death. It started two weeks ago tomorrow and has happened three times or so. So strange.I also go to...
- My impression going into this was the right personalized combo of dmards and/or biologics surpress the swelling and pain, and eventually can after a couple years put you into a medical remission.My rheumy told me when I was beginning methotrexate...
- My rheumy put me on rayos, a delayed release prednisone...the only one available I think. I am to take it at bedtime, so it is working in the morning.I was taking 5 mg regular prednisone about 6am and 5 mg at noon-1 pm.I'm to stay on 10 mg and take...
