I'm experiencing something strange with my fingers, and I'm hoping you could help figure out what's going on. Sometimes in a week, my right hand middle finger shows a range from 93 to 95 or from 98 to 94. But when I check my left middle finger or any other finger, it's always between 97 and 100. This inconsistency has got me really puzzled. Could there be any reason why my right middle finger is showing these changes while the others aren't? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm taking HCQS tablets in the morning and at night for synovitis treatment, but I recently noticed during a routine blood test that my iron levels are low. Is there a particular iron supplement I can take alongside HCQS without worrying about any interactions?

You can consider taking ferrous sulfate or ferrous fumarate iron supplements, which are generally well-tolerated and less likely to interact with HCQS
