Now you have posted you will see up to 10 Related Posts listed. Have a read of those while waiting.

We have a couple of real success stories on HCQ alone now they have weaned off the pred, but there are also a few where it has done nothing to help. Like all the DMARDs you have to try it to find out if it works for YOU - no guarantees.

Good luck
