Hi All

I have just move to Manchester – the past two weeks have been really stressful and EXHAUSTING – and I’m a wreck. I haven’t registered with a GP yet and I’m guessing that it will take some time before I get to see a specialist. Now I need to get out every day, attend classes and study but I’m having a hard time staying awake and standing on my feet – which are killing me! I’m only on Plaquenil at the moment - haven’t seen a doctor for over a year.

Can you please give me any advice on how to pull through? Any vitamins I should take? I’ll appreciate any advice that would make life a little more bearable until I see a specialist.

Thanks

It,s little wonder you are so stressed and exhaused. I would be too. First thing to do is go and get booked in with a new GP. then slow down, and rest. Manage your time , make to do lists, what can wait and what needs to be done first

made this mistake myself GOOD LUCK

Hi SRamkin,

Get yourself booked into your GP asap so they can refer you to a rheumatologist. I live in Manchester and i'm under the care of Prof Bruce.

In addition to hydroxychloroquine, I take 3000mg of Omega 3 fish oils, 1000mg of evening Primrose oil and 3000mg of acai berry (antioxidant) every day. I find these help me alot!!

I hope this is of some help.
