'I’m angry, disappointed, and scared': Lupus patients say they desperately need hydroxychloroquine and that has been in short supply.

on March 31, and supplies never caught up with demand, even after the initial explosion of orders eased.

Life without hydroxychloroquine is hard for lupus patients, who usually suffer from joint pain, severe fatigue, and rashes. The FDA has approved the drug for decreasing flare-ups of the disease. According to the Lupus Foundation of America, about 1.5 million Americans have a form of lupus, and 90% are women.

When the medication was available, “I was in less pain, I was able to cook dinner, I was able to clean up,” Rodriguez said. “Now I’m not on it, and I'm looking around my house, and I don't even know where and when I'm going to be able to pick up the pieces.”“I feel useless,” Rodriguez said.

Thank Mr. Stupid President Trump POTUS

This is total bullshit! My mom has lupus & takes this drug and has had no problem getting it. This is just another thing for you guys to try to bash Trump for.

Oooh. A new angle of criticism. I guess they have finally read the facts

Only in America

And, for two months I’ve only been able to get a 14-day supply at a time even though I’ve been on it for about 15 years for RA.

How many times do we have to mention that Trump is a Narcissistic bastard? His preoccupation with Fantasies of unlimited success, power &😏Brilliance. His need for Excessive admiration, his lack of empathy, his envy of Obama, his arrogance & haughty behavior or attitudes

JUST STOP THE FAKE NEWS. I’ve taken Hydroxycloroquine for 40 years no issues. There is no shortage and if you had to wait a week it has a 1/2 life of 40 days-20 days before you even realized it wasn’t in your system. Use it to save lives and stop the smear campaign.

Tell everyone in the world who really needs it & what it’s really used for, call Trump

As usual

But if you’re not suppose to take it, why do they want it? I mean, media said it was bad for Trump. It must be bad for everyone.

Don’t they know it will kill them!!

Just more death for which Trump is responsible. Sad.

Total made up BS. Cheap drug and easy to produce. No shortages of supply.

Order online from India and China. Billions of HCQ available.

My grandmother had lupus and I can't imagine if she had to battle to get her meds during a pandemic, bc the 1%ers were hoarding based the medical 'knowledge' of a not particularly bright politician.

No we can't give it to them its dangerous and kills people.

Must be Trumps fault. Get ready to lose another election snowflakes

Makes you wonder if Donald Trump is aiming for more deaths...He sure doesn't care about the numbers.. just his ratings and the Economy..

Why? Maybe because CNN is making a big deal out of this?

So in other words the life of a lupus patient may be more valuable than that of a Covid patient, really?
