Thanks Charlene. It has been a little over 2 month since I have had a day without tiredness or aches. Fever comes and goes. Had to quit teaching due to lack of strenght to move from one classroom to another. Miss my students and my energy to move around. 😫😫😫

Have you tried an nsaid? I couldn't take plaquinil. There is no reason to suffer for months. Please go see your dr or get a second opinion. I am on the process now of searching a 2nd rheu. Mine just wants me to take hydro/Tylenol 3x day. I don't want to be drugged that much. Please call
