How much to bump up?
I am currently taking
plaquenil
for 6 weeks in hopes that it will reduce inflammation and I will be able to then reduce to at least 10 slowly. I am finding that 12.5 is just not quite enough.

Afraid might have to start biologics
I take
plaquenil
, prednisone and sulfasalazine for RA. Was on MTX with bad side effects so was switched to sulfa. Rheumy said that if no segnificant chance in 3 months we will start on biologics. My inflamation numbers are still high. No change. My Rheumy apointment is in 2 weeks.

Anyone else taking Sulfasalazine??
No
plaquenil
for me after all. He doesn't think it will be strong enough. So, sulfasalazine is being discussed with my hepatologist as I have PBC too. My hep emailed me that the sulfa RA drug would be OK to take. Probably start next week.

Medication allergies and lupus
The only reason I can take
plaquenil
and immuran is because I take prednisone also and I guess it helps with the allergic reaction. Thanks!!!!!!

Ana positive but not clear about the diagnosis
They did prescribe naproxen and
plaquenil
( hydroxychloroquine). I've been having joint pain and other issues that's what originally sent me to rheumatologist. Confused and uncertain....kfrankie

Anybody out there with lupus or shortens with vestibulitis/vulvadynia?
I've been on
plaquenil
now for 18 months with an improvement, although symptoms are exacerbated when I try to reduce my daily dose from 400mg to 300mg daily. By far my worst and most persistent symptom is vestibulitis that manifested with all the other symptoms a couple of years ago.

How do you know if you APS specialist is actually that?
She increased the Warfarin to 3-4 and sent me for memory tests at Guys, and prescribed
Plaquenil
. I now see Dr Breen who is part of Prof Hunts team, who communicates with consultant in Home town and she is keeping me on the straight and narrow for Cerebral Aps.

Self love and acceptance
I was started initially on methotrexate, discontinued after three months, then
plaquenil
and sulfasalazine, which I am still currently on. I did try Arava but discontinued after 5 months. Right now I am in the process of getting prepared for biologics which I am hopeful.

LDN a strong anti-inflammatory??
I most probably will have to take
Plaquenil
. So, I will do that for the RA and LDN for the energy and "feel good" effect it gives me. Spoke with my doctor and many with RA take both. No drug interactions with them, or with the URSO either if you also have PBC like I do too.

wrong type of snow
As my fingers and toes have started to bend out of shape in the last month or 2 , I would like it stopped as I care for my partner and its making things extremely difficult. it appears the MTX has become ineffective against this, OK he said have you tried, hydroxychloroquine (
Plaquenil
) sulfasalazine

NEGATIVE RF AND CPP
Rheumy hasme on
Plaquenil
, Salazopyrin,Prednisone. (stopped MTX due to side effects.) Blood tests results show sero-negative RA. Negative RF. Negative CPP. Clear x-ray results. So how can I be sure this is actualy RA??? All symptoms point to RA-except the afore-mentioned test results.

Anyone else have PBC and RA?
Anyone on
Plaquenil
? And is
Plaquenil
the least invasive of the RA medications? The other shoe dropped. Anxiety and depression setting in. Stella😢

Point of view from the USA, from both a Lupus patient and GP (I'm them)
I'm on a lovely cocktail right now of
Plaquenil
, Prednisone and CellCept so my immunity is shot, and so is my energy.
