hydroxychloroquine and stuffy itchy nose with occasional bleeding.
My rheumatologist added hydroxychloroquine to my methotrexate regiment for my rheumatoid arthritis. After a few weeks on the hydroxychloroquine, my nose has become itchy and stuffed up, especially when lying down and I am having trouble sleeping. Has anyone else had this problem?

cortisol/underactive thyroid
Out of interest, if your cortisol is high in the morning, would taking your levothyroxine in the morning make you feel even more stressed/twitchy?

Has anyone with Hashimoto or any other autoimmune condition tried low dose naltrexone ( NDL) to regulate autoimmune response?
I have multiple autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto, autoimmune gastritis and Reynolds. The list is growing. I am already on clean diet and manage my stress as much as I can and need to try something more than that. I have read the LDN research and keen to try. I understand it isn't a panacea

I’ve just seen a post on X about mast cells and Covid-19 which mentioned a link with autoimmune diseases of the gut and the use of antihistamines as a treatment.. I wondered if anything was known about autoimmune liver diseases, mast cells and antihistamines. I found this 2017 research paper https://

GFR drop 62 to 57 does that matter?
hi. I'm back with question. Reminder: i had declining GFR to 40s that began to go back up to 60 than 62. Latest it dropped to 57. Not very significant but it is back below 60. Should I be concerned or is it so close to 60 it doesn't matter?? is it likely to continue to drop? Or its wait and see i guess
