Tmi sorry

[Oxopinkyblue]

Hi everyone hope your all well ? Just a quick question have anyone on hydroxychloroquine suffered from rumbling tummy and gas ? Sorry tmi but my stomach rumbles constantly and in the words of my young son I'm popping all the time lol

I tend to get an excitable stomach when I start any new drug....but up to now its worn off after a while.

That cat has definitely been farting around.

[dtech]

Err yes. Can be embarrassing 🙄. And the stomach sounds like mount Vesuvius on a bad day😂

[Oxopinkyblue in reply to dtech]

Yes it is lol

[nablur]

Have you asked your dr to change you to something more agreeable?

My RA doctor took me off that hydro my body couldn't handle it. I had to many side effects an felt awful all the time.

[Oxopinkyblue in reply to Quee]

What sort of side effects did you have ?

[Oxopinkyblue]

Been on it for about 3 months I did feel great but last couple of days I've been having pain in knuckles and knees

[Oxopinkyblue in reply to Oxopinkyblue]

Sorry typo it’s nearly 2 months not 3

I’ve been on it a year, yes I get a noisy tummy but I also have bouts of Ibs anyway so I’m used to it! I find sucking a polo mint helps get rid of any upcoming “pops” quickly! 😂

It’s pretty much my only side effect this far and I’ve gotten used to it now... my hubby thinks my stomach is trying to start a conversation with his at night 😁

[Oxopinkyblue in reply to Ssmart]

Does it pass cos it's getting a bit embarrassing I had a a review meeting yesterday and let's say I had to leave the room a few times !!!

[Ssmart in reply to Oxopinkyblue]

Mine is more noisy than actual wind now, but it still gurgles for sure! X

[Hidden]

Sure have

[marie66]

Oh yes windy tummy! Definitely started with Hydroxy 7months ago but I prefer that to the all out nausea and loose bowel I had with sulfasalazine! I’m hanging on in there with Methotrexate- using anti nausea pills to combat side effects but coping! M x

[Newshoe]

O yes lol. Been on it 8 or 9 months and my wind on a night and early morning is very entertaining to my kids

[Quee]

I had that with whole lot of other problems with that medication. My RA doctor took me off of it.

Yes I have suffered the same side effects, as well as diarrhoea. I was taking anti diarrhoea tablets every night so I could function the next day☹️☹️
