Which medication next?
Is an immunosupressent normally used if
Plaquenil
is not enough ? Are they 'safer' than steroids? Does increasing the
Plaquenil
help? Does anything actually take the pain away? This month could be described as a flare as it is worse, but I am never actually pain free.

Not naming names but where do I go from here?
Two tests that did come back which I am rightly concerned about as they indicate tissue damage to either the heart/liver/ kidneys etc are: LDH (slightly elevated) 217 u/l (20-220) ALT 53 u/l (5-40) I am to keep up with the
Plaquenil
; surely this is for people with connective tissue disease not OA?

I AM GOING TO HAVE BLOOD TEST FOR SJOGREN'S what it it shows negative
I have been taking
Plaquenil
over the last 8 years or so and maybe this had helped. As I was an utter mess with fatigue and pain. Over the last 5 years or so my mouth is very dry My teeth have deteriorated, I have severe gastric reflux.

Medication merry go round
Prescription 1: Guys pharmacy gave me
Plaquenil
. Prescription 2: My local pharmacy gave me hydroxychloroquine. Prescription 3: Today they gave me Quinoric. With my sensitive gut I'm not relishing the change. I know it's all about money. I guess Quinoric is cheapest.

Fingers locking over
I'm now on
plaquenil
and leflunomide. I'm feeling a bit better however my fingers are still swollen and I struggle with opening bottles and various things. Recently certain fingers lock over when I'm doing something and I have to pull them out of it, the pain makes me feel sick!

Call For Remissioners !!
Hi all, I have been on MTX and
plaquenil
for three months. Stiffness and swelling is parially under control. There's a bit of improvment in general. However, I'm never pain free especially in the morning. My hands are still aching in the mroning and so do my heels.

UTCD now turning into Raynaud's or Scleroderma?
Before I got sick I was a workaholic and I was sometimes called a bouncing ball in terms of energy ;-) Last year I got diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease ("UCTD") by my rheumy and started
Plaquenil
(200mg/day). Last few weeks some of my health problems aggravated: Fatigue.

Important new from Hughes Syndrome Foundation regarding European Forum on Antiphospholipid Antibodies.
It provides evidence that pregnant women with Hughes/APS who still lose babies with the usual treatment (aspirin and heparin) are much more likely to have a successful pregnancy is they are also treated with hydroxychloroquine (
Plaquenil
or Quinoric in the UK).

Sadness and loss, could use some advice about baby loss, APS and what treatment you used to get to a healthy baby.
The doctors mentioned
Plaquenil
as an option next time possibly. I have APS but not Lupus.

Methotrexate funky actions
The first drug I was prescribed was MTX with
Plaquenil
. Why do I have the feeling that before treatment I had less pain??? This is my third week with MTX 7.5 m/week and my fingers, shoulders and arms are really aching like never before. My fingers are swollen like never before.
