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.

Do you have a good RA Doctor that you could talk to this about...maybe antibotic therapy would help you better or the medication that BadDay recommended. First step is to let your RA Doctor know and to talk about what your next step is while your off the plaquenil...
Many well wishes and always keep the lines of communication open with your doctor.
Hope this is helpful to you! and Hello!
