Hi Leanne do you have medication for this , quite anxious about it , I had hip operation last year , and worst on that side , thanks whatsit

Well I was on hydroxychloroquine too but had to stop due to massive allergic reaction, I'm on no meds at the moment though.. But my consultant hasn't really said its not connected to my Mctd and lupus... Do you also have a tissue disease aswell as lupus?

I don't know I only been sent to rhumy seen her three times for a few minutes last time she told me lupus and put me on hydroxy did feel to bad then , but gone down hill fast in the last month,

in reply towhatsit

You should be calling your rhumy straight away to be honest if you feel like that. I have such a lovely rhumy who Iv had to call at work a few times now and always gets me in a few days after phone call or week after

Hi whatsit, I have posted about tingling fingers and face, I also do get numbness in my arms, but not my legs, for me it is happening in my sleep so I am trying to sleep differently to see if this helps. It can be scary, I think especially in your legs. Will follow to see if anyone else responds, it seems to be one more aspect of lupis or related issues... I am taking Ranitidine 300mg as I have a hiatus hernia to help with heartburn (especially when I am lying down). ML
