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.

SLE and me and Plaquenil
Saw my rheumy doctor last week and he said to stop the
plaquenil
for four months to give my system a rest and to see if anything improves. So far all i have is a dizzy sickly feelin, feel light headed and totally unwell.

Plaquenil v Hydroxychloroquine
Hi I am about to start on Hydroxychloroquine but I know there has been some controversy about the generic brand versus
Plaquenil
, the latter being much better at being tolerated.

Biologics?
So I have now stopped that and take Meloxicam which I have always done and started
Plaquenil
. I am not in much pain apart from my knees and shoulders. I am not keen to take these new drugs, what experience has anyone had? it would be helpful to know. Many thanks Brenda.

Plaquenil - Hydroxychloroquine
Hi all, my mum has suffered with arthritis for sometime now. Just getting over a night replacement at 53 - it was quite traumatic for her as the drs couldn't manage her pain right after the operation. Her other knee is now giving her lots of trouble and she has already said that she would sooner give

Remicade
I am also on Methotrexate and
Plaquenil
. I figured every infusion my pain would get better, not worse. Just wondering other people's experiences with Remicade. Thank you

ACCEPTANCE
I began
Plaquenil
in January, and found this blog while researching night-time itching of face and head. Thank you for the Wisdom and experience I find written in your posts. I don't feel so alone now. Let me in return, share a bit of my own wisdom .....

Update from my last post... 1 slightly positive Ana and 2 negative ones, no symptoms... NO Lupus!
The second opinion was from a rheumatologist who put me on
plaquenil
even though the test came back negative, and I did not show any signs of inflammation.

Inflammatory mystery
They then said if that doesn't work take
plaquenil
(Antu Rheumatic drug) which causes SENSITIVITY TO SUNLIGHT! which I already am and the rheumatologist doesn't quite have the time (always running late) and I feel like I'm always rushed out the door. Could this still be a lupus thing?

Here We Go...
Went to a new rheumatologist who gave sle as the primary illness (with possible ra and sjogren's as secondary) and was taken off of everything and put on
Plaquenil
. It took about five months of the medication plus high doses of anti-inflammatories and then it all went away (well, mostly all of it).

HAD IT!
He got mad that I followed the ER doc's order to stop
plaquenil
during a shingles outbreak. His response " Is he treating your autoimmune diseases too? Mayeb he should keep going. " The
plaquenil
was stealing my sight and I told him that.

Immunocompromised Health Care Worker with Lupus
I have been deemed 'in remission' but I am still on
Plaquenil
which has immunosuppressant effects so it is a bit of a concern for me working in health care where I am exposed to a higher risk of infection.

Hip pain in lupus. Yes or no?
I am on prednisone 5 mg a day, and
plaquenil
500 mg a day. When I had my last bad flare, I had pretty profound weakness and pain in my hips, ankles, feet, upper arms, and shoulders (profound shoulder weakness) as well as pain in my hands and fingers.

Sulfasalazine
This week I started taking Sulfasalazine along with the
Plaquenil
which I've been taking this about 8months. Could anyone give me any insight on how you responded to similar treatment?
