Query regarding Reactive Arthritis

2021-12-19 09:17:00
Hi Doctor, I am on treatment for Reactive Arthritis. I did my ANA test and the result came out as "Weak Positive". My doctor started treatment for the same she prescribed me. Tab Wysolone 20mg for 15 days Followed by Tab Wysolone 10mg for the next 15 days and then Tab Wysolone 5 mg for the next 15 days. I also take Tab HCQS 400 along with the same. Yesterday was my last dose of Tab Wysolone 5mg as my doctor has said to stop taking after 15 days and just to continue with tab HCQS 400 for another 2 months. Since today morning I'm feeling nauseous, slight feverish and stiffness in my joints. Is this because I have stopped taking medicine? If yes how long will this problem last. Please guide, thank you

Hi. You may feel low energy/ stiffness for a few days after stopping steroids. This usually subsides within a week. However if symptoms persist or joint pains recur or if you have temperature more than 100 degree Fahrenheit, you should consult a Rheumatologist
