Thanks for the reply Dr Parks. Her liver function test was ok as the physician told me. It is almost her one month with RIMSTAR and she has developed joint stiffness and pain. Can it be arthritis and is it reversible? Coz I feel it to be absolutely drug induced.
Hello,
What were the results of the liver function tests? Hepatitis is a possibility if she is taking multiple medications; however, liver function tests should provide definitive information.

Hello! Doctor
There was no change in the dosage of Diabetic medicine. Even yesterday while on her workout session she felt hypo and fell back home immediately. From the last two days she is not feeling well about her digestive system. Is there a possibility of Hepatitis even if she is careful regarding her foods? She cannot digest hard foods at all after she started her RIMSTAR. Lever function test after 2 weeks of 4FDC was ok. But I feel that after this week there might be some change in the LFT report. This week she has skin rashes and itching all over the body.
Regards

Hello,
You mentioned that your spouse "feels hypoglycemic". What medications does she take for diabetes and has there been any change in dosage or additions to her medication regimen recently?
What other medications does your spouse take everyday?
Have you mentioned the side effects to your spouse's primary care healthcare provider?
