Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well,firstly I would like to know what we're the findings of your lupus.It is essential to know as we need to rule out any problems from.lupus which are giving you breathlessness complaint..

Secondly you are right in believing it could be medicine side effect. A lot of times these opioid drugs do give weird dreams and disturb the sleep.pattern...i would suggest to.hold Norco for time being

3. When you say hurting more..is.it.only.the shoulder joint which is hurting or other joints as well?

4. for frozen shoulder you don't need so many medicines as they don't help the case.You need to start with physiotherapy and if the pain is still.too much go for local injection in the joint.Will give you quicker results

Hope the information was useful
