Difficult to say. Depends on what drugs she is on. Is she taking hcq / hydroxychloroquine? It can sometimes cause black pigmentation. I don't think it should be anything serious. Do let us know accordingly.

I have been suffering from cough and cold for more than 2 months. On first occasion, I was given Mucinac 600 tablets twice daily for 4 weeks and Montair FX ,1 tab at night. It worked good and I was relieved. However, after a gap of 15 days, it relapsed. And this time, it is dry cough all along. Coughing increases at night, at midnight and again at the dawn. Mucinac and Montair FX failed this time and I am scared that something ominous has cropped up. Last time doctor advised chest x-ray, CT Scan of lungs and PFT. The outcome of the tests was not that much worrying. Now how to negotiate this dry cough which has become a nightmare for me. Due to Rheumatoid Arthritis I am taking medicine of HCQS 200-1 tab at night, Defza 6x2 tabs in the morning, Sazo 1g each morning & night, Shelcal-HD 1 tab at night, Folvite-5 weekly twice, folitrax-10 weekly once day and night (same day), Telma H 80 for pressure in the morning and Cetapin XR 1000 mg for sugar at night. Presently, Sugar & pressure both under control. Please advise me to get rid of this dry cough. Regards, S. Hazra, Kolkata.

Dear lybrate-user,
instability at c1-2 level can be concerning and give rise to pain at the back of head and headaches. The first which you need to look into is how bad is the instability and does it need to be surgically corrected. Consider visiting a neurosurgeon to have this assessed. If it it not bad then thereby be an option of injections with can be considered after an assessment by a pain specialist. Discs bulges at lower neck levels do not normally cause headaches but can lead to nec...more

You must have heard of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine which is an animal antimalarial drug..But hydroxychloroquine is also a drug for rheumatoid arthritis and other types of non specific arthritis.

Similarly the drug given to you is DEC...Antihelminthic but also used for fibromyalgia...Here your symptoms can be added to fibromyalgia...

Hello. Rheumatoid arthritis is a debilitating disease which needs life-long therapy and exercises. There are comparatively cheap medications available for RA like - Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine or Hcqs. Please contact your local rheumatologist, who will assess your condition, do few necessary investigations and prescribe the medicines which you need in adequate doses. Hope this helps.

Hello. Methotrexate is the first line drug for treatment for management of Rheumatoid arthritis. If it is not working, it's dose can be slowly increased upto 25 mg per week. Alternatively other medicines like Lefnulomide, Hcqs or Sulfasalazine can be added. Few basic labs like ESTLR, CRP are also needed to assess her present disease status. Contact a Rheumatologist as early as possible, as RA can be a potentially debilitating disease.

Hi, I'm 55 years female from kolkata. I'm a diabetic (take Glycomet GP1 FORTE (GLIMEPIRIDE 1 mg + METFORMIN 1000 mg) twice & 10 iu insulin overnight ,fasting 80, PP 254 measured yesterday) & pancreatic (taking Panlipase 25000 after food thrice every day for last 5 years) patient. For the last 1 year, I'm feeling pain in fingers of both hands and in shoulder joints. Pain is unbearable at times. In afternoon often we see middle fingers of the hands get deformed. Visited a doctor. And he told this is a rheumatic arthritis. He gave Wysolone 10 mg for 45 days followed by wysolone 5 mg for 30 days. HCQ (Hydroxychloroquine) 300 mg, ARAVA (Leflunomide) 20 mg, INJ. Folitrax 20 mg once on sundays. Folvite 5 mg mondays to saturdays. Wysolone is now completely stopped. When I take wysolone there is no pain in fingers. Here is the test reports at a glance, Uric Acid 3.69 (range 2.6-6.0), RF 7.15 (<14), CRP 3.02 (<5) vit D (25 oh D) 36.12 (30 -100. AntiCCP Anti Body 5.61 (<20). CBC, Haemoglobin 11.8 gm/dl (range 12.5 - 15.3), MCHC (Mean corpuscular Hemoglobin concentration) 32.9 (range 33.4-35.5),Total RBC 4.0 million cells/cu mm (range 4.5-5.1), lymphocytes 52% (range 20-40) basophil 00 (range 01-02), ESR 16 (range <30) SGPT 13.8 U/L (range <35, Lipase 32.5 U/L (range 30-300), CRP 1.20 (range <10), amylase 78.2 (range 30 -110) Test was done in SERUM, Kolkata in 15th june 2017. Many doctors are telling me that this is rheumatic arthritis, But after 6 months of taking medicines for the same pain the still there, only fingers does not get deformed in afternoon. Please tell me is the diagnosis is right? Am I on right treatment? Or there is any other problem? Is there any bad action for taking panlipase 25000 for last 5 years? One more question for RA CRP & RF should be positive, but for my case it is negative, so how can it be RA?

RA is a autoimmune disease which is related to diet which needs to be radically changed for reversal of disease. Rheumatologist Drs in India only know to give pills for any illness .They do not know that there is natural treatment available because nutrition is not taught in the medical curriculum.
They do not think outside the box.
Change your diet and reduce the medicines.
I think you were getting too many drugs for RA .Were they all given at the same time or at different periods.<...more
