I am having a debate with myself for the last year about Plaquenil the doctor wants me to start taking it. To be honest I am scared to take any meds.

I seem to react negative to everything I take sadly but I am also tired of winter and all the Flare ups. I can't seem to get rid of the ulcers in my nose, they won't go away… read more
I dont want to give you wrong advice, so please check everything that im saying. I heard that saline rinses is good. Im not sure if it causes pain. I have mouth ulcers and salt water helps me.
Call your pharmacist or doctor, they can give you something. Praying for you. Plaquenil works great for me!
I started taking the pLaquenil about a 2 months ago. It’s supposed to help with the fatigue. So far it hasn’t. I’m exhausted, even though I have a good day now and then.
As for side effects I don’t suffer from any. I do have to see an optemologist every 6 months though as part of the treatment.
Anyone else out there have answers for their specific symptoms?
Ugh, the nose ulcers!! See if you can get a prescription for cold sores. It alleviated mine.
I agree saline nose spray helps and is very inexpensive. I have Sjogren's disease and I take Pilocarpin which works quickly and keeps my mouth moist which lessens mouth sores. Hang in there.
