hi all just a quick question. is it normal to be on a few different drugs to control this horrible disease. im on mtx, naproxen, plaquenil,
citalopram, folic acid, andomeprazole. and can you take some of them together or do you spread them out through the day. I know not to take my folic on mtx day. also has anyone taken naproxen before and what do you think about this drug. thank you for any advice x

Does anyone suffer side effects from taking Plaquenil? I was advised to take it last year but have been very wary. I take Warfarin for APS.

Reducing Plaquenil anyone?
My rheumatologist is reducing my
Plaquenil
from 400mg to 200mg per day. Does anyone have any experience with reduction in hydroxy? Any bad reaction? How quickly? Many thanks.

An update to share with you ... and some questions to ask about St Thomas' Hospital
I take 200mcg
Plaquenil
and manage in between with paracetamol and ibuprofen. He wont prescribe more as I have no firm diagnosis.

St T's appointment brought forward.
They saw me twice; told me to come off warfarin, go on
plaquenil
(both of which my rheumy disagrees with ~sigh~) and said they would see me in a year's time - which I was fine with; as I said it was only supposed to be a "one-off".

Anyone suffer facial pain?
I have been taking

I was put on Imuran and
Plaquenil
and given a low dose of steroids in case I needed it. I protested at first but I finally surrendered and also took disability leave. After a month and a half I started to feel better.

Could I have Hughes Syndrome?
I did a trial of discontinuing the
plaquenil
and they migraines got worse, so I went back on the
plaquenil
. After about 7 years I quit
plaquenil
and seemed about the same, but I was still having bad migraines.

I am sorry to whine, but my body is not doing well. My legs and feet hurt. My arms, elbows, hands are really aching. And I am exhausted.
I have taken mtx and
plaquenil
since October,2013. At what point does the doctor decide these aren't working and give me something else? I was taking an nsaid also, but I retained water and also heard that mtx and nsaids don't mix well, so I stopped. Is this a flare up or just the nature of RA?

Worried about soft bones
That's the background, my question is, can long term use of
plaquenil
cause bone softening?

Change of medication! Hi wanted to know some views about my meds.
Also 400mg of
plaquenil
(hydroxychloroquine). The hospital have also put me on Amitriptyline an antidepressant. This is to help with the chronic pain which isn't going away or getting any less in the last year.

Diet and Autoimmune Conditions - can you heal your body through diet?
I find that when I drink alcohol, it makes my vasculitis ten times worse, so I have stayed away from that -- especially since starting medication (
Plaquenil
) for the vasculitis inflammation. Please share your experiences. Thank you!
