Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi Gwen...I had an allergic reaction to plaquinel r/a med last year. I developed a rash from head to toe. It took about 2 weeks to show up but when it did, it traveled from stomach up and down. My p/c gave me a shot and upped my prednisone. Gave me Zyrtec and then benadryl later for itching (But the itching still cam about). It took about a week or more to go away. It was horrible. My rheumy said it was the plaquinel. I'm on arava now and I'm fine. I also developed an allergic reaction to Humira. I had taken it years before with no problem but last year was different. It caused a red , purple, itchy area where I injected and then caused a decubitus ulcer. The area burnt like when you inject it the whole time. If you're wondering about patients and their reactions to diff meds, go to www.askapatient.com I am not sure they have remicade sides yet since it is pretty new but you can try. I find it really helpful. So, I can relate...it is no fun. Hugs..a I check there for so many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
