Right now it is methotrexate,
plaquenil
, leflunomide and steroids. I have not been able to work now for almost two years. I am in total awe of anyone with RA still working.

Please could you help me with my query regarding MTX?
I have been on Mtx for 7 years , also
plaquenil
and folic. I have been on injectable Mtx since November to try and increase the dosage , as the tablets were intolerable. I got to 20mg but still with side effects so I'm now back down to 15mg and have had sulfasalezene added.

I am the one and only
Plaquenil
is hydroxychloroquine sulfate. Further research showed that although extremely rare, cross reactions are not unknown. Yet other advice states that people with sulfa allergies shouldn't react adversely to sulfates or sulfites.

Anti-CCP antibody blood tests ("strongly positive" at 223): If you are in the same boat, what is the prognosis/your experience of RA?
I am on
Plaquenil
(Hydroxychloroquine) - is this going to do the trick? How long for? It seems to have controlled the Palindromic Rheumatism (acute attacks) but joints and tendons are behaving strangely 4 months down the road after commencing on this drug. (My Rh Factor is also positive)

Plaquenil/Hydroxychloroquine and the Retina. Also for your info. - check out the NICE guidelines on NHS treatment of RA.
Foot joint also swollen but not painful now How long is
Plaquenil
likely to work for?. Also, some readers might be interested to look up the NICE guidelines on RA after reading some of your blogs - this lays out what you should expect from your medical team.

Wrong diagnosis??
I didnt need them as I didnt have RA , after a few days my feet began to swell & I couldnt walk ,went back to see the consultant & he changed his mind said it must be RA.Since then I have been on Methatrexate , had a few steroid injections which seems to have helped a bit, but have also been taking

Onward and upward?
Sulfasalazine, Methotrexate and
Plaquenil
give me severe allergic reactions. Leflunomide holds the disease back but doesn't stop it from spreading so two weeks ago I discussed anti TNFs with my consultant.

Does anyone else have a yellow tongue
someone suggested to me it might be my medication, i am taking prednisilone, methotrexate,
plaquenil
and citalopram. Anyone else on these meds have a yellow tongue, also i notice it looks worse on days im not feeling well, feel a bit daft mentioning it to my rheumatologist.

Lupus and Plaquenil
My wife was put onto
Plaquenil
2 weeks ago and has just come out in what we believe is an allergic reaction to it Having researched online it seems her rash is the same as some of the images shown when reacting to
Plaquenil
She is taking the Non-generic version so this is rare but then everything seems

Newly diagnosed
I was given a steroid injection because of active inflammation and put on
Plaquenil
. I am having a bad flare at the moment - it has never been this bad before. I have been feeling quite tearful today, which is very unusual for me, and wondered if this may be as a result of the medication.

Plaquenil
200mg 2X daily and Imuran 100mg 2X daily...Lortab 7.5 as needed (I rarely take them because I hate masking pain) anyway nothing seems to help and I feel yucky all the time now...not a feeling I want to keep so I am looking for suggestions.
