New Symptom?

I'm not sure what might be causing some of your new symptoms. You might want to call your doc or even your pharmacist with your list of new symptoms to see if they think it might be related to plaquenil. I'm not sure if this is the same or not, but I have some burning pain in my extremities (hands & feet) and was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy which can go along with lupus. I take generic neurontin which helps with that kind of pain and it helps me sleep too. I hope you can figure out what is causing these new symptoms.

Leigh, I would talk to someone about your symptoms. I know that for the most part, plaquenil is very safe, but I do know there are some rare side effects and there are some people who have had a bad reaction to it, so at the very least, it might be a good idea to call your pharmacist or do an internet search for side effects. I don't know a lot about fibromyalgia but I know that some people have both fibro and lupus and that people with fibro can have muscle pain. Also, for me, I tend to feel flu-ish and hurt all over when I am going into a flare.
