I hope it works well for you without side effects. I tried remicade and it had horrible side effects. Going to reumy tomorrow to discuss a none demard med. I won't give up!

I was just put on Plaquenil and I have been on it for one week now. I felt real funny the first few days. I am very concerned with eye retinal damage. I have not had too many side effects except for a few stomach aches and feeling funny in my eyes. I was put on sterods and I have just come off of them and hoping that my weight gain goes away! I am going to get through this!

Anyone with auto-immune diseases should be checked for food allergies. I did and I really think it helps a lot!

Neenaa putting the word 'bump' makes the thread reappear on the board again so us newbees can see is, kind of makes an older post new again without retyping it.

Hi small town mom, Thanks for the Bump info. Although I have a lot of experience in the computer world I've never posted on a forum before. Neenaa.

Hi,
I'm Ginaelizabeth and I've had RA for more than 10 years. I recently had to go off Plaquenil because of eye problems. I am in so much pain . I need to know what I can use instead of Plaquenil.
Thanks so much.

Hi I'm Hobbits2ndbreakfast, I have recently been diagnosed after over 5 years of being fumbled around by a family physician who couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, and finally sent me to a Rheumatologist who ordered x rays done, discovered I am advanced into the disease of RA with hand and feet bone erosion.
Currently on Methotrexate & Meloxicam
