Palindromic Rheumatism

Goldfinch

Consultant suspects my diagnosis is PR, recommending starting treatment with hydroxychloroquine. Mostly flares in shoulders and wrists. Any similar experiences?

Hello @Goldfinch 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 suspected palindromic rheumatism and your consultant has suggested hydroxychloroquine as treatment. I also understand that you mostly have flares in your shoulders and wrists and are looking for others' experiences. I am sure others will connect and let you know. In the meantime I've put a couple of links in from our website which contain information that you might find of interest.
