I haven't yet been able to get flu shot becuase they are not out yet here in Cali. but this is my 3rd day. Typically I just ride these out. Since I am on so many more drugs than I have ever been on, the mtx being the one I'm most concerned about, should I go see a PCP? This is my 5th day with it and it is getting worse. The first two days weren't too bad. Sore throat, congestion. But now it keeps me up at night and I have had chills, ...

I really expected the actual illness to be worse, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I only missed 2 days from work (when the sinuses and head were really stuffed up and painful). And I spent about 2 more days taking cough medicine at night and expectorant during the day. What I have noticed is now that my cold is gone, my joint pain has come back for the first time since the Plaquenil started to work. I am guessing ...

As if the list of symptoms I have been experiencing lately are not bad enough , my body has gone and added one more, hip pain. I have had hip pain in the past, nothing extreme, but this pain is excruciating, seriously! When it comes on it stops me dead in my tracks, it feels like someone is taking knives or drills and stabbing them right into both sides of my hips. The pain medicine has been helping the other joint pain, headaches pain in my stomach and side, I've been eating ...

I occasionally get stiff/sore joints, but it seems my muscle aches are more frequent. I asked my dr. for help with the muscle and she gave me flexeril, which I use sometimes, before bed. But I have yet to ask for help with stiff/sore joints. Right now, I believe I am in a minor flare. I have been getting some sun exposure. (part of the job is outside Yard Duty). but I'm diligent about the sunscreen. ...

I have sores inside my nose! It is very irritating and sore, I have been having sinus problems for a while and I think that is why my nose is sore from blowing it too much!!!! Anyone have any ideas about creams and such that are safe to use inside your nose?

Thanks
Take Care, Hugs
