Rheumatoid Arthritis
I infer that you hare been seen by a rheumatologist, since you are on two medication that, although safe, need to have rheumatologist follow up for surveillance. Hydroxycloroquine can give , central nervous system symptoms and may be the cause of drowsiness or hypoglycemia which in turn will make you drowsy as well.Anemia may also be a cause of the symptoms as well. Regarding the excessive sweating you should make note of the time of the day when symptoms appear and please take the temperature. Please also note that sulfasalazine for rheumatoid arthritis is taken twice a day ( not three times a day). I advise you to discuss the symptoms with your rheumatologist so he can advise after performing the pertinent test. Thank you for the question.

My first visit to a rheumatologist And I didn't know what to expect but dr Nobre made me feel welcome and was extremely knowledgeable and helped me greatly. Her staff was warm and welcoming. I highly recommend coming here
- Edison
I suffered for more than 30years with arthritis, but my doctors said that it was due to my age, and they never tested me. I was lucky enough to find Dr Pedra-Nobre. She tested me for RA, and I was positive for it. She began treating me, and I am completely free of pain. I believe that I have been this way for the past four years. She is the best.

The doctor has helped me and my pain . She has managed my arthritis pain with care and giving me medications that works very well using options that other doctors did not suggest . There is one staff member who is amazing but the rest do not smile and have a very uncaring attitude. If she could fix that she would have a good practice.
