Bruising
I was recently restarted on
Plaquenil
and I have been bruising all over. My legs are covered, and my arms are joining the party :( Before this I was on aspirin 81 as my only anticoagulant, but my APS was very symptomatic. I also have history of TIA so I felt the aspirin was inadequate protection.

Hi all I am on Levo. If I am making Rt3 and blocking whatever T3 I am producing what would the blood test for T3 be like?
After 2 visits to Rheumatologist, I am now on hydroxychloroquine. (
Plaquenil
). This drug is really just a trial as the Dr doesn't know why I have so much pain. (So far no change in my symptoms) I still think it's my thyroid not converting to T3. My blood test shows T3 very low in the range.

Is anyone on plaquenil only? And is it controlling symptoms?
Just wondered if anyone is on
plaquenil
alone for lupus? I am on 400mg and trying to taper down to 5mg of prednisilone. Only been on it for 4 months so still waiting for it to work to its fullest.

Very unwise?
However, all my joints have deteriorated ( my rheumatologist has started me on
Plaquenil
) yet I get terrible fatigue and often feel shaky and light headed with a terrible night time thirst(sjogrens??).

Keratosis Pilaris anyone?
So I'm wondering whether it is somehow connected with lupus or its medication (
Plaquenil
in particular, as this is what I was on when this started). Anyone has any experience with this?

Feeling Off lately
Usually I get aches and pains, headaches, nausea and tired (I am only on
plaquenil
), I feel bad for a few days and then I am better for a few days. The last few weeks I have been feeling shakey, jelly legs, sore thighs, fuzzy waves through head, headaches and nausea.

Feet & hand problems & pain.. Any ideas folks??
I'm on
plaquenil
which has been up'd from 200 to 400mg which helped at first but not anymore, and painkillers. Rheumy didn't say much but am awaiting scans on both hands & feet. Other joints are stiff as well but nowhere near as bad as my feet.

Should plaquenil have worked by now?
I've been on
plaquenil
for APS and other autoimmune related pain and fatigue for about 4 months now, but as far as I can tell, it's made no difference. If anything, my pain and fatigue are worse.

Do you ever feel normal again?
I have been unwell for 3 years but finally after taking steroids and
plaquenil
found some releif from symptoms and actually have a bit of a life. I still get tired days where I feel wiped out and bad joint pain but haven't been bed bound like before.

Graham Hughes' July blog 2013
She was started on the classical pair of treatments - aspirin (later changed to Plavix) and
Plaquenil
(a quinine derivative) for the Sjogren's. Three months went by before I saw her again. "Thank you doctor. I've got my life back". The headaches, the aches and pains, the fatigue - gone!

Do others experience nausea and vomiting as a symptom of BD??
Tried many meds to no avail and now on
plaquenil
and enbrel, pain meds, gravol, etc. Nausea almost daily, occaisionally accompanied by vomiting( that gives almost no warning). I'm starting to think this is a BD symptom and not a med side effect?

Plaquenil 400mg taken at once or split into 200mg twice a day?
Hi. I have been on plaquinal for 3 months and since upping the dose to 400mg I just take them in one go but have read that many people split the dose! Panicking encase I'm taken them incorrectly! Does anyone else take them together?

At my recent visit to see the Rheumatologist Dr Green at York DH.
He offered me
Plaquenil
, and gave me a leaflet about it and told me to think about the possible side effects before taking it. I had another blood test and a chest xray and was told to go back in 2 months. Is it usual to prescribe
Plaquenil
for Fibro?

Myco without Plaquenil anyone?
Is there anyone taking mycophenolate but who doesn't take
Plaquenil
at the same time?
Plaquenil
has been great but I'm starting to get heart flutters and ectopic beats more often now and I'm trying to see which med could cause it.

Anyone given a short sharp oral prednisolone taper for persistent rash on feet/legs?
I have been on
