Are you taking only Rheumate and hydroxychloroquine for lupus?

While there isn't specific research on using Rheumate and hydroxychloroquine together as a standalone treatment for lupus, some MyLupusTeam members have shared positive experiences with Rheumate.

One member reported: "Rheumate has been extremely successful with alleviating joint aches and the tingling and numbness occurring in my fingers and toes. My headaches have also subsided."

Another member shared: "I started taking Rheumate to increase my energy and help with my muscle pain. I feel so much better! Everything is CLEAR. The brain fog is gone, too."

Important things to know:

Rheumate is classified as a "medical food" by the FDA, not a medication. It contains methyltetrahydrofolate (active folate), vitamin B12, and curcumin. It hasn't been tested in large clinical trials specifically for lupus.

Hydroxychloroquine is a cornerstone lupus treatment that helps calm immune activity, reduce inflammation, lower flare frequency, and protect organs. Some people find hydroxychloroquine alone is enough to control their lupus, while others need additional medications.

Your rheumatologist can help determine if this combination is right for your specific situation and whether you need additional treatments to manage your lupus effectively.
