My limbs keep falling asleep?!
I am currently taking Imuran and
Plaquenil
, so, could this symptom come as a side effect?! I don't really think this could be a dangerous thing I'm experiencing, but it surely is bothersome. Does this ever happen to you? Xx

Lupus and cataract surgery
His lupus doctor has advised him to stop taking his methotrexate and cut his
plaquenil
medication in half. The steroid eye drops are preservative free and he is using them four times per day. We are looking for someone who has had a similar experience.

Newbie question regarding prognosis
Feels as though I'm on the right track to lessening of symptoms with
Plaquenil
, Methotrexate, Maloxicam and Folic Acid plus numerous supplements. I realize my doctor doesn't have a crystal ball but I am curious as to the stages of this disease. Is it crazy to ask him what to expect?

How often do you get sick (catch something)?
It's been a little over a year since the Rheumatologist said He thought that my immune system issues could be RA and I went on
plaquenil
. A scan 8 weeks ago confirmed Dr's initial thoughts. Finally caught a flare up and had a scan.

Should I take Plaquenil
Should I take
Plaquenil
to see if the fatigue/memory problems improve? I am based in Auckland, New Zealand and have private health insurance. Any help greatly appreciated.

Recovered from Flare, tapering resumes...
I requested my dr. to run the bloodwork again and if the same result I told her I wanted to rule out Actemra first before going on
Plaquenil
. Turns out I don't have Lupus. Actemra causes low C3 &C4 levels mimicking Lupus and some of the disease's symptoms.

I am so frustrated I could spit nails...
The new one is calling my symptoms "referred pain" from LORA and/or osteoarthritis, and is pushing methotrexate, leflunomide or
plaquenil
while reducing pred. (I'm never going to take the first 2 suggested. Not ever.)

Hydroxychloroquinine sulfate
A few years ago I was prescribed
Plaquenil
(manufactured by Sanofi) , when these were no longer produced I was prescribe Quinoric, but found that I could not tolerate these!

Generic Plaquenil
I noticed a post re generic and brand name
Plaquenil
. I have been on GENERIC
Plaquenil
for years--maybe since I first went on
Plaquenil
. I didn't realize there could be a difference between brand name and generic. In addition, I have never felt the
Plaquenil
I took made me feel any better.

Plaquenil and pregnancy
I recently read on an APS Facebook group that
Plaquenil
might improve pregnancy outcomes in women with APS. For those of you who've taken
plaquenil
to prevent miscarriage/pregnancy complications, did your family Doctor/high risk OB/rheumatologist/etc prescribe it? A little about me.

Flare or worsening symptoms
I've been on
Plaquenil
and Maloxicam for 6 months and am in mid-titration of methotrexate to 20mgs. In the last month, I've had increased pain in both wrists, elbows, shoulders and even my neck. My question is this; how do I know if this is the RA getting more aggressive or is this a flare?

Plaquenil
I've been on
Plaquenil
for a few weeks now which is working great. Haven't had any major flareups in that time ( touch wood). But I have noticed I need to go to the loo a bit more then usual and I pass wind more then usual which can be pretty lethal and embarrassing.

New here - going to start mtx tomorrow
I've been on triple therapy of gold,
plaquenil
and sulfasazine for past 14 years but rheumatologist thinks I need to change my meds to avoid any more damage as she feels disease is more active than she would like.

Rock bottom: any ideas?
Have tried many meds: methotrexate, sulfasalzine,
plaquenil
, humira, enbrel and orencia - with no real improvement. Just horrible side effects. I've also had two knee synovectomies and so many steroid injections that I've lost count.

Next step
Currently taking
Plaquenil
and methotrexate. Inflammation and pain continued so Dr added a course of Prednisone. I felt terrific but since completion of prednisone pain, stiffness and fatigue are returning. I'm currently on 7 tab of 2.5 mg per week. Is there hope?

Rheumy Changes
I am taking
Plaquenil
200 every 12 hours. Thankfully I'm doing great. I see him every 12 weeks, he squeezes my joints, and says "great, see you in 12 weeks". The few times I've told him about new problems he just dismisses them and tells me to talk to my family Dr.

Hi Everyone - I'm new here and was diagnosed with RA in January. I also have Chronic Kidney Disease.
So I am on
Plaquenil
and can only use Tylenol for pain relief. The pain is worse at night and it severely impacts my sleep. Anyone else have this scenario? Any suggestions? Thank you!
