rheumatoid arthritis
"I developed and was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in November of 2011.  I went on hydroxychloroquine (400mg 1 x per day), and my bouts of inflammation have dramatically decreased both in frequency and severity. I have experienced no side effects, and I can't say enough good things about this medication.  Prior to getting on hydroxychloroquine, the affected joint inflammation was so severe (pain index 10) that I could not move whatever joint was inflamed. After getting on this medication, my pain index during inflammation flareups has been a 1-2.  I also take 800mg Ibuprofen, and the combination of these 2 medicines have worked very well for me.  At 47 years old, I've been able to play ice hockey and soccer in adult leagues (gotta do it now before this gets worse)."
