Latest update now Dolquine

[Pawscat11]

After asking for a second opinion I have managed to get referred back to my previous consultant who is back from maternity leave. I discussed the last 6 months with her and the need for PET -CT ect and the next drug. She has stated I can not have Leflunomide in Spain with private health care and decided to try Dolquine ( hydroxychloroquine). She is offering a much slower reduction to than mad one suggested by other consultant reducing from 15 -12.5 in 6 weeks and seeing her then to review. Lets see where this goes. First I have to have an eye scan to check I can take hydroxychloroquine.

Well that’s a start, please keep us informed and hope all goes well with eye scan.

Good luck! I hope this is a real improvement for you.

At least she sounds a bit more sane!!!! AND they take hydroxychloroquine seriously with the eye monitoring.
