Diagnosed Undifferenciated Autoimmune Disease HEARING LOSS & Sinus Congestion Are Worsening. Is It Due To The Diagnosis?
I was diagnosed with "Undifferenciated Autoimmune Disease" about six (6) weeks ago @ Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. My ENT here in Corpus Christi is trying to tell me that My ongoing HEARING LOSS & incredible sinus congestion (both worsening over the past 6-8 months) is due to this new diagnosis. Is this possible?! Also, since I started Hydroxycloroquine 200mg (TAKE 1 1/2 TABS DAILY) and Diclofenac Sodium DR 75 mg (TAKE 1 TAB TWICE DAILY) I've been feeling MORE and MORE TIRED i.e. I have VERY LITTLE ENERGY. (I feel like I am dying and have considered writing a will and/or calling a priest for the Sacrament of the Sick & Dying) My medical situation in very complex: I'm also being treated for Bipolar 2 Disorder and just started 600 mg of Lithium Carbonate ER about the same time that I started the first two (2) meds prescribed by my Baylor Specialist. I'm totally overwhelmed and exhausted AND ANY ADVICE YOU COULD PROVIDE would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! Sincerely, Mary Therese @ YYYY@YYYY

HI
Just hold on, every thing will be alright, no need to think any thing stupid, your hearing loss could be partial one and may return soon even if it is because of the drug or any thing else, you seems highly depressed and tense just relax, otherwise your dellusive impulses would disturb you more, stop taking chloroquine and diclofenec , do some meditation and relaxation therapy always be happy. Have a good time
