Help needed !

Hi all

I have recently been diagnosed with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. I started having painful joints a couple of years ago and last summer I had the worst flare up ever where I was virtually housebound for weeks. I was diagnosed in September last year and started methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. I thought I was tolerating the meds well and apart from the odd pain I’ve been fine. However ...today...my consultant called and said I need to stop the meds immediately as it may be causing problems with my liver and kidneys. She asked me to go in for a blood test again in a couple of weeks and told me not to take any anti inflammatory at all, but I am panicking 😫 has this happened to anyone before ? I am worried what the meds may have done to me and worried that that I will be in excruciating pain again without them ...Any help or advise would be gratefully received ! Thank you all so much !
