It sounds like you've been prescribed Hydroxycholorquine. It's a widely used drug for RA and a lot of people have really good results with it.

Glad you had a good visit with your rheummy ... it makes all the difference if you feel confident and comfortable with them.

Hope this new drug starts to take away the fatigue and pain soon ... it can take a few weeks before you see any results so hang in there!

Hi Lorraine,

Pleased you have had a fruitful appointment. I am also on Hydro and they are a good med.

Hope they suit you well and the rheumatoid calms down.

Hi Lorraine, Hope the new drugs work for you. Did they give you any idea when you might be able to start on them?
