With ref to your query about Hydroxychloroquine

[SLEEPINGDOG]

the internet Drs speak largely about side effects but my own experiences are all I can tell you about:-

•nausea,

- that's never affected me

•vomiting,

ditto

•stomach pain or cramps,

ditto

•loss of appetite,

- I wish!!!

•weight loss,

I wish!!!

•diarrhea,

No - but sometimes constipation

•dizziness,

I get that all the time, increasingly over the years, [maybe due to the effects of the 2 original brain tumours]

•spinning sensation,

same as above; but I also take about 18 other medications, so who knows?

•headache,

as many or as few as anyone else

•ringing in your ears,

I had non-stop tinnitus before so that's not changed

•mood changes,

I always had non-stop mood changes before my wife says,so that's not changed. just for the record - I think she's wrong!

•nervousness,

no more than before

•irritability,

no more than before

•skin rash,

YES,but Dermatitis runs in my family

•itching, YES (but only in the places I can't reach by myself!)

•hair loss.

I already had a "high forehead" - from eyebrows to nape of neck????? So, what's the difference for me?

In summary, I've had almost none of these bad effects, but it seems to have put a stop to my frequent seizures (which always terrified and embarrassed me!)
