Suggest Diet To Reduce ESR Level
Sir, My name is Sampathkumar. I am a rheumatoid patient. I am taking Hydroquine or HCQS tablets regularly for past 3 years. I am having heavy joint pain in the morning when I wake up from bed. After some time it get reduced. ESR level in my blood report around 30 mm/hr. What type of food I can take to reduce ESR apart from the medicine. Please advise.

I think apart from HCQ you should also need other DMARD like Methotrexate , SaAZ and Leflunomide. It is better to take multiple drugs then only HCQ. Also you can take steroids for short time if pain is very severe.
