Being someone who's dealing with rheumatoid arthritis, I'm really worried because I haven't been able to get HCQS 200 for about a month and a half now. Are there any other medicines I could use as an alternative? It's been tough managing without it, and I'd appreciate any advice you can give on what I should do next.

Question

I'm dealing with this annoying pain in the upper thigh on my left side. It's not super intense, but it's always there and gets on my nerves. There's also some swelling at the top of my thigh compared to the other side, and the pain seems to start there and then moves down to the inner part of my thigh. Ive already done an MRI of my hip and pelvis, and even had my blood tests done everything came back normal except for a vitamin D3 and B12 deficiency. I've been taking vitamin B12 injections and 60k IU of vitamin D3 once a week, but its only been two weeks so far. Im just wondering how long it will take for my vitamin levels to get back to normal. Also, Ive tried physical therapy, but it hasn't really helped with the pain or swelling. Any advice on what I can do next?

Question

I'm currently taking Methotrexate 5mg and a contraceptive tablet. I'm wondering, how long should I continue these medications? Also, is it advisable to consider phototherapy as a treatment option?

Question

I'm waking up every morning with this really bad pain going from my knees all the way down to my feet. I just had a blood test done, and it turns out I don't have diabetes, but my uric acid levels are constantly high. I know this is probably because I have meningomyelocelespinafidida at the last joint of my spine. Can you tell me what might be going on or how to manage it? I'm a bit worried about all this.
