Hi, I have been living with inflammatory arthritis for approx 2 years and feel my symptoms are getting worse, I am now taking hyrdroxchloroquine and sulfasalazine both on maximum dose. I am waiting to hear from my consultants with regards to a face to face appointment but I wanted to know if anybody suffers with severe headaches to the point that they wake you up in the night and also chest discomfort, it’s not like a sharpe pain but sometimes a dull ache it feels like it’s in my lung if that makes sense? Sorry for the long message but really have no idea where to turn to next.
Thank you.

Hello @zec and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.
I understand that you have inflammatory arthritis and are taking hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine and wondering about some symptoms you have. It is of course your consultants who can provide medical opinions, but we do have on our website some information about the medication which may be of use.
I hope that your consultant gets back to you soon, but in the meantime please do keep posting and I am sure that others will connect with you to share their thoughts and experiences as well.
With very best wishes
Peter
