I've been having problems with joint pain and fatigue for years, diagnosed with CFS and Fibromyalgia.
After I spoke to the rheumatologist this morning, he's put me on a drug that is primarily used to treat Lupus. My bloodwork is showing underlying inflammation and my body is attacking itself (their words). Bloodwork from a couple of years ago showed something simular but they didn't do anything then.
This has come completely out of left field and I don't know what to make of it. The drug I've been put on is Hydroxychloroquine.
If anyone has Lupus and takes this, did it help? How does having Lupus impact on day-to-day life? I already claim PIP and haven't been well enough to work for a few years.
