Transient Ischaematic Attack (TIA) or Lupus?
but I did have an opthamology appointment which had been booked because of the
plaquenil
on Wednesday and they couldn't see anything wrong with my eyes. the official tests have now started to determine if it was a TIA or something else.

Steroids v Rituximab - any advice/opinions?
while talking to him and going through all the drugs I can’t tolerate ..
plaquenil
, azathioptrine and nsaids cause severe stomach problems. Micofenelate gave me such hideously bad headaches within a few days that I could barely get out of bed.

Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil)
My rheumatologist has been wanting me to go on hydroxychloroquine (
Plaquenil
) to see if that will help me get off the Prednisone. She says that there is no safe dose of Prednisone. I am in the U.S., so not sure if this is something doctors over here are trying.

Did you have to take
plaquenil
as well? Any advice would be wonderful! There are no patients or support groups where I live.x

Any Advice Please - Raynaud's, Vasculitis and Dr. Appt.
I am dreading the appt. as he has students take all information ( they are not going in to rheumatology) and then he comes in and gives the prescriptions for
plaquenil
, lefloumide and prednisone. Any advise would be so appreciated. Healing hugs.

Prednisone as a one off dose
I haven’t needed pred for over 18 months as my PMR has been stable but I have been on
Plaquenil
200mg x daily for RA. Apart from stiffness on standing and this dreaded tiredness I’m actually quite active and mobile.

Osteoarthritis and lupus
Blood thinners,
Plaquenil
, pain meds etc. the pulmonologist I see was saying he doesn’t even know why I am being given
Plaquenil
, because the rheumatologist is giving me such a low dose ( I take 200mg in the morning, and 200 at night). Ok fine.

RA and covid
Currently on
plaquenil
but they are now talking MTX and beyond. I'm curious about how more experienced folks here have approached covid personally. I'm in Canada. I'm eligible for (and have had) 3 vax doses. If I was on MTX or another immunosupressent I would be eligible for a 4th.

Any Thoughts on Rheumatologist Visit #1?
She also prescribed one daily use of 200mg of Hydroxychlorquine (Generic
Plaquenil
), which apparently takes about 90 days to build in the system, after which it may assist in weaning off pred. The plan is to then get off Hydro the following year.

Hoping for better meds
I'm on
plaquenil

Rheumatologist doesn't want me to stay on pred
My Dr has me taking
plaquenil
6 days a week and only use prednisone when I have much pain. I also gave inflammatory arthritis. There us a distinct difference between pmr pain and the inflammatory arthritis pain . She would have me take methotrexate before daily pred.

Hair loss with Sjogren ?
On
Plaquenil
for 3 months. Still losing so much hair, i willl have to cut it short. I am upset. This hair loss is relentless. I have done everything for 4 years, bloodwork, supplements… my vitamin b is a bit low but Not to a point that it would cause so much hair loss.

Tight skin and ankle swelling
I have systemic scleroderma (CREST) and am on steroids, Rituximab and
plaquenil
. One ankle is very tight it’s sometimes difficult to flex the foot up and down,alternating with ankle swelling. The skin feels rough to touch at the back of my ankle and down towards my heel.

Rheumatologist Visit: take Hydroxychloroquine and PMR isn't a vasculitis
Saw her again yesterday and despite the fact bloodwork showed a normal sed rate and my c-reactive protein levels had gone down, she insisted I need to immediately drop from 8 to 7mg AND start up on hydroxychloroquine (
Plaquenil
) to get off pred entirely. Nope.

Plaquenil
Today I'm started on
plaquenil
. Does this sound like anyone else's symptoms and treatment. Are the side effects to
plaquenil
severe. Thank you. Nelly
