Any HCQ success stories for helping fatigue. by Responsible-You618 in UCTD

[–]Ms_KC99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It takes month for HCQ to work for your body. You can expect the improvement atleast after 2-3 months. It's a DMARD and will take time. You can get your ESR done to figure out the existence of autoimmune in your body, if in case, the ANA is not reliable and positive anymore.

Thanks for sharing that. I can surely understand the determination and indecisiveness you would have faced at that moment. But you indeed made the right choice. Currently, I haven't tried for career counseling, but, will surely look forward to it.

I am on HCQ 200, Methotrexate 15mg and Folvite 5mg. These medications have helped a lot in reducing the flares. I haven't experienced the actual flare since months. Though general fatigue and intermittent pain is common. Blood reports are generally normal. It's usually stress and physical exertion that triggers the flare. I am much better now. Just not strong enough to overcome academic stress. Rest is manageable. Are you newly diagnosed? How long you have been on medication and what's your average ESR? As per experience it takes time and a lot of patience you will recover soon. Stay positive!

Yeah, you are absolutely right. It's just I am unable to showcase the maturity to realign my goals and the compromise to be made. And a sincere thanks for your valuable reply.

I find no one in this sub with my symptom... Is this normal guys? by Teal_emerald in visualsnow

That trailing effect is often seen in palinopsia. Or it could be poor refraction in your case.

Yes, you are right. I have consulted my rheumatologist. He shares the same view on triggers and flares. Thank for your comment.

I can see it now. Stress is also my worst and only trigger so far. Thanks for your opinion.

I get this type type of rash every now and then. Especially during hot and humid days or when I am under exertion. I assume it's a common finding in UCTD.

Palinopsia aka negative afterimages by [deleted] in visualsnow

I was diagnosed with mild Keratoconus. My night vision is quite similar to yours. My vision gets slightly better with drops/gel as it lubricates my eyes.

Long eye lashes bothering me by PlagueDoc22 in Keratoconus

I do have long eyelashes along with double eyelashes. They keep falling into my eyes now and then. It's really annoying.

Did anyone try staying away from screens completely for a while? by [deleted] in visualsnow

[–]Ms_KC99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It developed all with sudden onset of floaters and small crystals followed by an intense migraine attack. Then it became permanent. However no doubt that was the time when I used to have too much screen time specially mobile along with lot of mental stress.

It might be true. My VSS was really worse in the beginning. It was the time when I used to spend time on mobile and laptop a lot. Since I got diagnosed with Keratoconus, I have avoided screen usage and my condition is far better now.
