I'm thinking of trying to switch as I'm wondering if the Gabapentin is affecting my mental clarify and work productivity more than I realized.

I'm in South Africa. My pharmacy told me there is a nationwide shortage of chloroquine sulphate (Plasmoquine), which is what I'm taking for RA. They said they can't even order it. I've already been without it for a week because I couldn't afford it. So I'm worried I'm going to start feeling it soon.

I get the rx from my family doctor and he doesn't know what to prescribe instead. I have an appointment with a Rheumatologist in December (first available appointment and my first visit with that doctor).

I've been taking Plasmoquine/chloroquine sulphate /hydroxychloroquine/Plaquenil for like 25 years (200mg) and it works very well for me.

I was told that methotrexate and sulfasalazine are more commonly prescribed for RA (at least in the US) nowadays than hydroxychloroquine/Plaquenil. I'm allergic to sulfa drugs and the side effects of methotrexate scare me.

Anyone else have this issue in South Africa or another country? My doctor will probably be willing prescribe whatever I suggest at this point (within reason).

In the meantime, I'm going to call around to different pharmacies and try to verify the information a little more; maybe its not completely true...

I have a course I'm taking that's "web interactive". It's all text that you have to read, then click next, to go to the next page until you're done. It doesn't allow me to download as a text document (or anything) to load into the audio app I usually use called paper2audio. I want an app that will read the webpage to me and go to the next page. I want it to read me the course basically.

These are relatively short courses. They are further education/training, not college courses. So the courses show average time of completion times. I have several I need to take. The times vary from 1 hour to 9 hours (so its not like it's a 4 month college course or something).
