Hi and group,

I don't know if anyone told you but plaquenil (sp?) takes like 6 months to build

up in your body for it to start working. So, it will take that long before you

can start feeling it. Maybe 3-4 months at the earliest. It's not that long in

the end game but when your hurting it's long.

Your doctor may also have you get your eyes check on a yearly to every other

basis. It's just to look (ha ha) for a side effect. It's a precaution, so

worries.

Hugs,

J.J.

When you said UTI, it jogged my memory (lots of tv in past 6 weeks do to flare

and pain). My news had a report on it about mainly women getting UTI's over and

over again from an anti-resistance bug. It's a bug found in chickens and

scientist were trying to link the two together. My google-Fu is not much for my

short times online but you might want to look at it to see if it's of interest

to you.

I'm sorry you are not feeling good.

Hugs,

J.J.

my fever will spike. I haven't posted much because I've been fighting constant

UTI's which are so much more worse to cope and deal with then the Stills. ''in

my opinion'' at least the Methotrioxate helps and the lyrica...and my pain rate

went from a high 9 to a low 5. I hope you get approved and wish you all the best

on your ventures with getting disability. This is my first time applying so

we'll see what happens. Please keep us updated on how you're doing.This is truly

a wonderful group of people and the support you'll receive here is fantastic to

say the least.... Take care....blessings...

feb. I don't feel much difference with the plaquenil. Has anyone else had a

Hi JJ Thanks for the info, Yes I did have my eyes checked and you are right I

need to have them checked again in feb as long as I am on plaquenil. I don't

know if my Dr. told me before but I just saw her yesterday and she did tell me

that I needed to be on the plaquenil for at least 12 wks to have any therapeutic

effect. I was supposed to have been on lose dose prednisone as a bridge but I

misunderstood her directions the last time. Even though I am an RN this brain

fog makes it hard to remember things and comprehend things the way I used to.I

restarted the prednisone at 5mg daily and i'll start cytmbalta mon. Maybe that

will help with the pain. Thank you so much for you kindness

Your doctor may also have you get your eyes check on a yearly to every other

I think I need some clarification - is there really a firm diagnosis for

Stills?  I'm sort of a newbie to this & sometimes I don't know which end is

up.  Sometimes I think I'm overmedicated yet I'm still in pain.  Also afraid

I'm going to lose my job since I can't seem to work a full day or week.
