I actually was so stiff that I had started walking like I was 90yrs old. My doc put me on hydroxychloroquine twice a day oxycodone to help with the pain. I was diagnosed in march of this year with antiphospholipid syndrome which is causing lupus anticoagulant. It's been a true struggle but I will continue to put 1 foot in front of the other. Now this drug hydroxychloroquine does it make you gain weight? I've gained 20 pounds in 8 months, and that's enough in itself to make you depressed. We all jus have to PRAY and FIGHT and KEEP IT MOVING. STAY STRONG

I use a half pill of hydrocodone that's the only way I can begin to move.
