RA, mtx & hydrochloroquinne, poosible GI upsets?

[lindyloo2018]

Hi I'm relatively newly diagnosed, taking mtx 10mg weekly and hydroxychloroqinne 200 mg daily for 10 months now. Started on 15mg mtx initially but reduced to 10mg weekly 3 months ago. I am suffering at the moment with what I think is stomach and intestine GI upset.

just burning sensations in upper abdomen and right hand side under ribs, also seems to be radiating down the front of my legs , does not feel like heartburn, It could all be stress as I have been very stressed for the last month because of UTI infection and missing my meds for 5 weeks and now scared of a flare up.. please can anyone offer any advice ?

many thanks

Both made me nauseous but not what you’re describing; I’d ring advice line, that’s what they’re there for, might put your mind at rest x

Look into the health benefits of kefir and your gut bloom, with advice from your RA nurse. But it has helped me enormously
