I've been on HCQS 200 tablets for about 15 years now for my rheumatoid arthritis. I'm starting to get a little worried if there might be any side effects from using it for such a long time. Could you tell me what I should look out for or if there's anything I should be concerned about?

I've noticed something unusual these last couple of months. Whenever I have a drink, even just a little, I end up with pain in both my legs. It's weird because this starts about 23 hours after I drink, usually kicking in right when I'm trying to sleep, and sometimes it even lasts into the next day. Is this something you've heard of before, or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with some pretty intense joint pain for the past two months. There's no fever, but the pain is tough for her to handle. I heard that Ayurvedic treatments could be effective for Chikungunya. Could you recommend any Ayurvedic medicine that's safe for her to take or other practices that might help? Also, would physiotherapy be a good option for her?

It sounds like your mother is going through a tough time with joint pain. Ayurvedic treatments like Ashwagandha, Turmeric, and joint oils may help manage pain and inflammation, but it's important to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Physiotherapy can also be beneficial in improving joint mobility and reducing pain, so it could be worth exploring alongside other treatments.

I've just had my uric acid levels checked, and they're at 9.2. I'm wondering what precautions I should be taking with this? Also, is it okay to take calcium and vitamin supplements given this situation? I'm curious about what positive or negative effects they might have. Plus, my blood pressure is at 10050 is that something to be concerned about?

Follow a healthy diet plan that has mostly vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. Limit sugar-sweetened foods and drinks, especially those that have high fructose corn syrup. Limit alcohol because it can increase uric acid levels in the blood and avoid short term diets for the same reason.Yes, calcium supplements can be taken by people with high uric acid, and calcium may even help lower uric acid levels
