Hi been to hospital today had two appointments, 1 emergency with rheumy doc as am having a flare, yes DD you were right he upped my pred and said carry on as normal although he did mention another drug he wants to put me on after my op HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE has anyone had any dealings with this. :?: :?:



Also today I had a preassement for a op I'm due to have 24th sept, nothing to do with ARTHER, and guess what :!: :!: I've developed a heart murmer, so I have got to go and see the anethetist tomorrow to see if my op will go ahead and what if they are going to do anything with the murmer (sorry about the spelling). Just feel like SCREAMING :cry::cry::cry::cry:

    Upping pred is usually their answer to these things, but it can help and I hope it does for you. I don't take hydroxy but I know some do, and I am sure they will be along to give you more info. I take it the heart murmur is a new thing: I hope they can work round it so you get your op. DD

    Hi June

    I am sorry about teh heart murmour - lets hope its not going to sffect your op. My friend has a hole in hers and she had back surgery the year after me - so all being well....

    I too am on hydroxy - it is a DMRAD like lots of others and one of the first ones they try like sulfa as it has few side effects.

    I have been ok apart fora bit of belly ache and the need to get eyes checked regulalry incase of damage - none so far :)

    you take care

    Love

    Hi Joon

    Hope things go ok with regards to your op and heart murmur. I'll keep everything crossed for you.

    In the meantime, take care.

    Went back to the hospital today to see about heart murmur, when I arrived doc was waiting in the corridor for more , well he took me into a room said I have read your records and I can see no reason why you should not have your op I was gobsmacked he did not examine me, he said if after my op I am worried about it to go and see my gp :? :? :?



    When I saw the rheumy yesterday and he said about hyd, don't know if he means to take it as well as the mtx, I'll be seeing rheumy nurse mid october so she will know.


    Take care all Junexxx

    Hi June,
    Well that was a relief. So the op can go ahead after all.

    I'm on Hyro and have had no problems with it. I would think that it will be used as an add on to the MTX.

    Good luck with the op.
