Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Thanks for all the support. I am taking 200 mg of Plaquenil per day and 5mg of prednisone. It is not getting better but I anticipate some med changes when I see the rheumatologist. Me EPo doc has put on these meds until I see him. My Pulmonary function test is slightly decreased (could be both RA and the pollution) I live in DFW area where it is difficult to breath well in the summer. My bone density test is normal. I still have to get my eyes examined and I think thats about it for now. Sudden barometric pressure changes seem to affect me significantly. We moved back to this area 2 years ago from the Seattle area and I started noticing changes then but like many it took awhile for all the changes to manifest in a way that forced me to seek medical intervention. I attributed the early changes to getting older, stress, the move, buying a house, etc, etc. I woke up one morning and could barely move and that is when I went to the dr and here we are now.
