You're welcome. There is a Lupus Support Group in New York City and the Director posted this on her facebook page. Unfortunately for us, but great for her, she's moving to California. She's a social worker and actively involved in all things Lupus.

Hi Loretta, well what an interesting read! Thank you. It is good to know that not everything we take has a bad effect. Kezzie x

It's true. The plaquenil does have some unpleasant side effects at times but how nice to know that it may prevent diabetes.
