Re: Plaquenil

[Guest guest]

Hi Theresa,

Well it would seem that Plaquenil does not agree with me. The second day of

taking it i started to get very dizzy and was vomiting. After 4 days of that I

went to the doctor and he took me off it. Then the next day my TMJ started

playing up and I started on anti-inflammatories but now after a week off of the

plaquenil I have come out in a rash and all the right side of my face has

swollen up and is so tender-the doctor seems to think it is from the Plaquenil

(SIGH). I gather you did not have any of these problems. I have such a list of

things I am allergic to and it is growing and growing.

Regards Nerida

Nerida,

I was on plaquenil for about a year and a half ending when I

had surgery in 2003 but went back on it about two months

ago. It does seem to help me with the pain, but, has not, at

this point helped with the fatigue at all. My rheumatologist is

unsure whether I actually have lupus or not, but, used

plaquenil, feldene and cytotec to treat me rather successfully.

Unfortunately, after having gastric bypass surgery I can not

longer take the feldene.
