Severe Anxiety, Nausea, Low Appetite With Diagnosed RA Having History Of Ocular Stroke. Any Thoughts?

I have recently been diagnosed with RA, and am on 400 mg of hydroxyxchloroquine...I have pains in my hand joints and wrists, and when I saw the dr I didn t tell him about all the pains I was having, not really understanding what was going on and I thought I was just soar from not doing yoga anymore. in the last few weeks since I saw the doc and started meds, I am having more pains in more places and more intensity, im also suffering from severe anxiety..,.not really understanding what is going on. I also have bowl problems and the pills are making me nauseated and appetite has changed a lot.. I was told to call and book an appointment for 3 months from now..should I call earlier and tell them whats goingon? I keep thinking because I am worrying maybe im just noticing little things I didn t before...I am not sure what to believe with all the blogs...its scaring me the rate that my body is changing. I am 31 years old/. ( also had a ocular stroke 2 yrs ago..lost left eye sight and im also scared to lose my vision with the meds and the effects...)...any tips, resources to read or advice?

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have hyper acidity due to the drugs you are using for the rheumatoid arthritis. Which in turn may cause the increase in pains.
I advise you to consult your doctor for the sake of gastric hyper acidity, and relief.
I usually advise to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till you get the relief of pains.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
