Hi
Updating how im doing on hydroxy

ps i told to take 2 at once in mornings only,not problems now to start with very tired 1 hour after taking them.bit of dizzziness lasted 2 days gone quick asc ame.

in terms of RA im only on hydroxy steriod has worn off and im not doing to great nor disaster either,seems hydroxy alone sint enough so more setriods consistenly with it may be what i need control ra while reaching my goal of ttc stage this winter.

no problems with eyes at all,but am due eye test anyway to be sure.

now thats RA in terms of Lupus the hydroxy is doing wonders,its calmed down my butterlfy rash to a mild to strong sunburnt look.
mostly mild.
its reduced the dreaded lupus faitgue by Half,and also helping the other various lupus rashes i have.
ive still had some elsions appear but noly when body under stress of abscess for so long,then sinus infectio those lesions now mild an healing again.


I had better results with hydroxy for RA when added to MTX.
ive now been on Hydroxy for 6 months.

I have been on the triple therapy for almost three years, and apart from a rash in the beginning I had to stop all and re start again, I have been fine since. I do get regular eye tests and my optician checks my eyes thoroughly each year. I also get watery eyes but I am bothered with hay fever, optrex works well for me. Hope everyone on it gets a good response. Love Lorna x

Hi Graham - I have been put up to 25mg mtx. I must confess though, it makes me feel so rough, I don't always take the full dose. Sometimes I only take 20mg. I haven't confessed this to my rheummy team yet but I'm lucky enough to still be working (mainly desk job) and the 25mg dose just wipes me out. I think you should ring your rheummy nurse. My gp gave me some anti-sickness pills but I don't have the other problem. Take care.
