I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?

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 starting on HCQ 200mg every night for my knee joint pain, and I just wanted to know if there are any serious side effects I should be worried about. Can you tell me what to watch out for with this medication?

My mom is scheduled for knee replacement surgery on Feb 15 at AIIMS and is currently on Folitrax 10mg weekly. Her recent blood report showed platelets around 105,000 could the Folitrax be causing this drop since she took it before the test? Her current meds are Thyronorm 62.5 empty stomach, Pantop D40 morning, Osteofos70 weekly, Uprise 60k weekly, Folitrax weekly, folic acid at night, Shelcal 500mg night, and Etoshine90 night. Should we be concerned about her platelet levels before surgery?

No increase in platelets is not due to folitrax.. It‚Äôs due to viscosity of blood..
