One of the medications keeping me alive causes horrible joint pain and swelling.

My hands have been pretty useless the past couple of days and it is frustrating. Can’t cook. Can’t write. Can’t weave. Can barely text.

At least my kidney infection finally cleared up and that does seem to be what was causing the blood pressure fluctuations.

So I can sit up now but still can’t really do anything. It’s always something 🙃

That sounds horrible. What do your physicians recommend?

@samueltyler2 Discontinuing it isn’t an option so basically just whatever we can do to manage it. Compression gloves, heat/cold, NSAIDs, etc

@SwampFlower do they know what cause the side effect, maybe there is something more specific for the side effect?
