Hi everyone 👋

Dline

I’m new to the group. I’ve had fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis since 2017. Over the last year I feel I have deteriorated. Started a new immune suppressant azathioprine 3 months ago. Been taken off naproxen as I was experiencing chest pain but unable to find a different tablet to replace this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi@dinesh1

Welcome to the online community its good you have found us.You say that you have had fibromyalegia and rhumetoid arthritis since 2017,but over the last year you feel you have deteriorated,you also wonder if there is another drug to replace naproxin.

Firstly have you been back to your GP with the deterioration you feel has taken place in the last year?

Here are a few links i hope will help you.
